Apropos of scout service starships landing on wilderness planets light-years from civilization: I had some uninformed speculation I made with zero input from any expert. The topic is if your tail-sitting starship topples over, what can you do to try and get it back to launch orientation?

@nyrath My first thought it maybe a big A-frame and some cables ... wait.

@nyrath Vehicle I posted solved both of these issues, with a winch in the cargo hold, and extendable landing legs. I went with some USGS guys doing a survey, and it was interesting how they would simply winch up the side of a mountain, and drive down the other.

@nyrath I am now reminded of when Daft Punk decided to do space opera anime: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKJfJMMsqX4
