  1. Starship has 0 down mass capability, it has barely enough fuel to bring itself down (partially) from a suborbital trajectory.

  2.  @natix1_  Rocket stages have been landing since the early 90s. hell in the 60s there were doing it on the moon. The reason why this hasn't been done in the context of rocket reuse is because it isn't very cost effective. Falcon 9 has proven this.. about a 10% cost saving on a multi 100 million dollar payload isnt very interesting. This kind of re-use also has serious payload and accuracy limitations which falcon 9 has also proven with its non reusable high thrust upper stage.

  3. investing in re usability is pointless falcon 9 has proven this time and again. it only saves about 10% of launch costs, which in total is about 50 million dollars a launch. On a a multi 100 million dollar payload this saving is kinda pointless. Also the high thrust upper stage isn't good for accuracy so it renders your usable Launch market very small.
