This has been mentioned in other articles with respect to landers toppling over, height, etc.
seeing the image of the Apollo lander above, it seems wide to account for exactly that issue. What is it about modern engineering that we’re not taking that approach, or is it purely just a limitation of the current size of the rocket the lander is being carried on?
