Photographs taken during the lunar landing of the Odysseus lander may also have enabled a better understanding of the dynamics of lunar landings on the lunar regolith and rock surfaces in the vicinity of the Moon's south pole. Such a better understanding of the local lunar surface features would have assisted with preparations for upcoming ...
SpaceX plans versions of the Starship spacecraft including: cargo (satellite deployment), tankers to act as depots for in-orbit refueling of other Starships, human spaceflight, landing on the Moon, and eventually landing on Mars.
