So it appears as two's the magic number on this beast! Makes sense. Will they tuck in on ascent when attached to super heavy? 3 landing legs was super aerodynamically unstable on ascent (full stack) and also unstable on decent when landing.

Stability is not an issue with 3

Yes. There’s a huge amount of hardware in the tip of the faring that being integrated on the ground, which is why we haven’t closed it out.

Nose tip has forward movable fins, cold gas attitude control thrusters, header tanks for landing, composite pressure vessels, several large batteries, etc. Placed up there to balance high mass of Raptors & rear fins at the bottom.

And about carbon-capture-for-rocket-fuel that you hinted at before? I’ve always been interested in the ISRU side.
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Sep 21, 2019
Sure. Have to do it on Mars from beginning. Will ultimately do that on Earth too, so rocket flights will be zero net carbon long-term.

Great work by SpaceX parachute engineering! The Crew Dragon parachutes are way more difficult than they may seem. The Apollo program found them to be so hard that it became a notable morale problem!
