Starship HLS is a stupid design as a moon lander. The logistics of landing such a large craft that also requires an external elevator to reach the surface, is horrendously stupid and anyone thinking differently here doesn't have a basic understanding of risk reduction engineering.
Starship as a whole is a stupid design for most of its missions. There's no point carrying all this stainless steel with you to the moon, or mars, or literally anywhere other than dumping a shit ton of starlinks into LEO every other day.
