So land a lander, make a video, see if you can extract water, and see if you can deploy and use a high bandwidth link.<p>All these things have already been done by other missions (caveat the video) so I&#x27;m missing the point. Why not build an &#x27;on orbit&#x27; vehicle assembly station and assemble and launch your mission from there? None of that has been done yet and we would learn lots and lots doing that.
