    Those will pile up quickly between Starlink launches and the combination of HLS, tanker, and HLS refueling launches.

    I would imagine that the HLS landings won’t count. There’s no real comparison of the lunar landing to the complexity of belly flop circus ride of Starship landing on earth.

    I included HLS launches because each of those entails a booster launch/catch and certainly include several tankers each which will do the bellyflop maneuver. Plus it wouldn’t surprise me to see a few suborbital HLS launches or even simple hop tests to get more data points since they have none with either that ship configuration or Raptor 2’s. Those could be done independent of the OLM and mechazilla. Every launch/landing/catch provides data that fills out the picture in some fashion even if it’s just a starting point for extrapolation.

    But will it be turning left?? Guess it'll be left but backwards for retrograde burn. Unless rotated "upside down".

    I hope they sorted that one out with the esa service module. “Your left or my left?”

    I would think Orion and the SM would have some super deluxe, high tech cameras and other sensors to see everything at a high resolution.
