@LimitingThe Another point is that if the landing structure is bigger on land you can make the 4 tower structure far apart, reducing pad destruction in case of failure
@LimitingThe this is the same reason SpaceX ditched landing legs on starship. More mass to orbit. Since this is a smaller (less mass to LEO) rocket it makes a bigger difference in % on the dry mass. not a bad idea at all
@raines1220@zhattention yeah, even more when you consider the driver would have to react while looking the side mirror and forward at the same time. hard to react properly in this situation. Most of times is mainly trough peripheral vision and luck
