"Chinese space startup Nayuta Space released renders of wanting to belly flop the booster and land it horizontally. Let me break down why I don't think that's the best idea: [--]. The booster is already designed to be structurally adequate vertically on ascent so having the descent phase have landing loads horizontally adds a lot of extra mass and considerations. [--]. The animation shows the booster flying more horizontally which is not something dihedral actuating flaps would be good at. They're good for maintaining orientation belly-ish first when they are perpendicular to wind flow not parallel."

"Call me pessimistic I honestly think the only way to get humans back on the moon in this decade is likely a single launch approach but not with SLS. SLS's TLI capacity is insufficient. Honestly make an expendable Starship upper-stage with a Saturn V style clamshell stage adapter to house a fully fueled Blue Moon Lunar Lander inside and an Orion Capsule on top. Booster might even be able to be caught and still get all that mass on a TLI with a dedicated expendable upper stage. If not just ditch the booster for maximum performance who cares that's a drop in the bucket compared to even a single"
