    Aye, I was thinking about something like a sling or a harness that could pop around and envelope the top, or something, once landed, however..

    there are two main reasons not to:

    • it really should just be able to work on its own
    • as mono keeps pointing out, all of this dev has an eye on mars, where there can be no expectation of infrastructure at the landing site

    • true, but in the meantime, they could fucking reuse the rockets with a simpler system already, and keep investigating structureless ways..ESKEMA
    • they could improve it until the net would not be needed anymore.ESKEMA
    • Sure, i suspect they just think they're a lot closer to a successful attempt, is all.detritus
    • I think they are too.. That landing was really close on the spot...ESKEMA
