correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t think the second stage is meant to be caught. It will have legs to land on Earth/Mars without any landing infrastructure.

- sebzim4500 2y agoIt will have legs for Mars but they plan on catching it on Earth.
- ls612 2y agoIt is expected to land astronauts on the Moon as well this decade, which will certainly require legs.
- DarmokJalad1701 2y agoThat is a different version. The ones launching/landing on Earth are supposed to be caught by arms similar to the booster.
- gibolt 2y agoThe ones for other celestial bodies are also planned to return to Earth... Being inside one as it does the belly flop will be quite the experience.
- ncallaway 2y agoPretty sure the Artemis lunar missions are going to use a different vehicle for Earth to LEO and LEO to Earth, so I don’t think anyone will be inside a Starship belly flop for quite some time
- irrational 2y agoOr have the tower on the moon catch it.

- spookie 2y agoJust looked at some Reddit links posted and what the account has said over time and it is just _specifically_ this. Over 4 months old. The same thing posted, over, and over. Even alleging xAI "knows" about Musk's "secrets".
- dotnet00 2y agoPlus, their 'evidence' is a leading conversation with an LLM. It's the AI equivalent of a conspiracy nut taking 50 tangentially related articles about Apollo and stitching together a narrative about how the landings were faked.
