Once the LM was installed into the Saturn stage for launch, how was it
accessed? I'm assuming there was a way to fuel it on the pad. For that
matter, how was telemetry transmitted from it?
Re: Improved lunar landing architecture ... Sounds like an ideal site for a launch pad.... The best place of build a Mars base would be in flat areas, low altitude & near water ... I believe Martian launches would still need to do a suborbital hop before they do their major burn. ... In short your fuel requirements go up _exponentially_ with delta vee increases. ...

Re: getting back is as hard as getting there? ... > part is perhaps just as hard than the launch.... > things get extremely hot around the reentering craft.... > orbital velocity completely and drop into the atmosphere at zero ... It would take almost as much fuel as the launch...and the launch would ... (sci.space.policy)
