How will #Starship land on the moon @elonmusk ? 3 raptors at min throttle is around 300 kN, a Starship FULL of fuel is 2,158,200 kG on the moon, so that's a TWR of 1.5:1 ish. Landing half full, that's 2.7:1 TWR. Cutting down to one Raptor would be offset thrust and no redudnancy.

Aim for zero velocity just above surface & fall. You won’t fall fast.
