| Aug 5, 2016 at 18:50 | comment | added | Mark777 | @PearsonArtPhoto Could Dragon 2 or Red Dragon serve as a lunar lander, which means landing and lift off from Moon surface to its orbit docking with another spacecraft? In place of the heat shield and parachutes system mass it will have fuel. But would it have enough fuel, if not how much would it need for that purpose? | |
| May 1, 2016 at 23:07 | comment | added | MolbOrg | I was talking about that It would gain nothing by landing on the Moon towards that objective. Which is not totally correct. Also @PearsonArtPhoto , landing on mars have aerobraking capability. More important is to catch mars and landing - both together makes more sense. | |
