Navigation would typically require more fuel, but that will be needed if and when they attempt to soft-land on dry land, or on a pre-positioned barge.

I look forward to the first attempt to soft land the stage upon firm ground. I wish them all the best as I believe the future of HSF is riding upon a successful outcome.
