馃懡Tossing this idea at Elon Musk and anybody else out there on SpaceShipEarth curious to know "WHAT IDEA?" is being tossed at Elon Musk, the world's most well-know SuperBiped.
You need to redesign the Starship rocket to be more like a giant robotic spider with eight long legs (on which the engines are mounted) that retract into the fuselage for aerobraking. Unlike landing Buck Rogers style, it is Impossible for the SpiderCraft to fall over. Once on Mars you can scamper the SpiderBot all over the place. The hell with building stationary huts. We want to get around and explore the place. After we get enough SpiderBots on Mars we can get together for a SpiderBot Dance. It'll be fun.
