I’m with you. As landing the thing means nothing if you can’t get payloads to the destination. To get this thing to the moon would need like 20 refuelling flights to meet it on the way.
Hence the plan to have ten or so launches to refuel the top stage while it's still in orbit, a place that notably _is_ halfway to the moon's surface + the return trip to the earth.
this just reads as very strange. "meet it on the way"? it's not like they can place these in an orbit that they can just pull up and stop to refuel like a highway gas station. the refueling "pod" would need to be moving at the same speed as the ship.
