some corrections: 1. The tankers will be reusable so they WILL have flaps on them for return to earth. 2. The principle reason for the thrusters at the stop of the lunar starship is to avoid the regolith issue of it coming back into the engines on landing, as well as avoiding forcing all the regolith plume into lunar orbit hindering further missions to the moon. - Not for steering.

They need to build a giant fuel station in space constructed in orbit using multiple starships and then before the main launch they would fill up the orbital fuel station using starship launches and then launch the main mission ...

The other observation I would make is that the cost for the first rocket launch is based on research and development as much as the hardware and fuel. The cost will decrease if the production of the Artemis & Orion continues and the original cost become spread across multiple launches. Or the first one costs a squillion and subsequent flights are calculated solely on the hardware and fuel.

How to deal with Moon dust ? By preparing the place of the future Moon base by melting the regolith and forming a hard crust from it. When sunlight hits Moon's surface, the temperature can reach 260 degrees Fahrenheit (127 degrees Celsius) At what temperature does the lunar regolith melt? 1100 to 1379 C. So it would be possible to melt the regolith by concentrating Solar heat by only twelve times. By only 12 m2 mirror it would be possible to melt one square meter of regolith at a time. Big mirrors could be placed on orbit or even on high "legs" on the Moon surface. In addition, slabs and blocks of the molten regolith could be used as building material.

Then why not split Starship into 2 stages? The main engines and tanks in the bottom section and the habitable crew and/or cargo section in the top section, with a much smaller thrust section for completing the moon lading. The bottom section obviously providing the bulk of speeding up and slowing down for the journey, then detaches from the top section as it nears the lunar surface. If Starship is never meant to return to Earth, then the bottom section is expendable. This would make the top crew/cargo section much more accessible on the lunar surface. The discarded bottom section could probably be cannibalised for parts/material if needed for repair work on any permanent structure. And it would be greatly beneficial if the Optimus robots became functional and used in some capacity to help lay the ground work for human settlement on the lunar surface.

@@jessepollard7132 I'm pretty sure he meant splitting starship in 2 so 3 parts in total. As for why SpaceX wouldn't do that you need to understand that SpaceX is in it for going to Mars. the moon hls is just a way to earn some money. On Mars splitting the starship in 2 will not work, and so there is no incentice to do it for the moon either. A few refuelings is all it takes and an elevator to get down. That is much cheaper and simpler than developing staging for a single flight only

Wouldn’t it be safer to have a moon base rather than an orbiting space station? I say that then I think about how cold the dark side of the moon gets along with asteroid collisions. I’m sure from the moon we’d see the coming sooner from that direction atleast. I wonder what it would be like to bring a telescope to the moon if you could see the other planets or maybe not at all. Maybe you could see them on the dark side of the moon

There's a UN treaty that marks all non-Earth solar bodies as having the same status as international waters. Almost every nation has signed it, including big players like China. So no, it's not their right. Maybe it should be, since it would make space exploration more interesting to Earth governments, but there you have it. With the way China treats international waters on Earth though, I'd imagine those tensions will be the same off planet in the future, which is what I think the OP was referencing.

The Apollo spacecraft had a computer that was far less powerful than my watch and they landed several missions less than a decade after starting the program.

I think Artemis will make a huge change in about a year. Starship will carry the crew and cargo from Earth to the moon and return to land on Earth. They've been working on the SLS for over 10 years. SpaceX will pass them in another year. SLS costs Billions per launch, and Starship costs millions. A huge Difference. Falcon9 costs about 50 million and Starship will cut that by a lot.

SpaceX will have to land a StarShip on the moon with just supplies before sending people. I have a feeling that SpaceX will do that and then send people to the moon before Artemis. I can see them move people to the moon's orbit where a space station will sand ready for the Artemis Astronauts. Once they get there, they are sent down to the moon with a pilot and co-pilot, maybe a sturdiness. How funny would that be. Once on the ground they are greeted by a SpaceX ground crew to act as technical support for the mission. This means that there really isn't the need for the project at all. However, if they want to waist taxpayer dollars like this then so be it.
