Will SpaceX face the same problems as the Intuitive Machines and the Japan lander and tipover? An idea for the SpaceX lunar lander is to have 6 extra landing thrusters higher on the ship to limit the dust plume. These thrusters will help the lander to hover, so the landing legs can adjust themselves to the terrain of the Moon, I am guessing. The Angry Astronaut points out the detriment of having a tall lander with narrow landing legs.
Today I found a 7-month-old conference about Cosmology from the Far Side of the Moon that shows the Blue Moon lunar lander. The reason I am sharing this video is to point out how important a radio antenna is on the far side of the Moon. The images in the video shows wider landing legs.??
