I'm seeing comments from SpaceX people saying that they expected the elevation of the launch mechanism to accomplish the same goal, which means they didn't ask anybody

So apparently NASA's plan is to use Starship as the moon-landing craft just like the LM was with Apollo. They're eyeing 2025 with the Artemis IIl launch

Amazing to see it get so far on its first launch! Considering just how radically large a step change in capabilities Starship-Superheavy represents, all while being a wholly reusable launch vehicle and spacecraft system, this truly was a phenomenal accomplishment. It successfully lit its engines, didn’t nuke the pad and launch complex, lifted off, passed through Max-Q, flew a (mostly) nominal launch profile, handled multiple engine-out events, and made it to stage separation before going completely off-nominal. Even then, the 120 metre-tall Starship-Superheavy consist was able to remain intact as it began to cartwheel before the flight termination system was likely used to end the mission. And to keep things in perspective, too, we all just witnessed by far the most powerful rocket ever built by humans fly for the first time. They’re going to figure this out and make it work. Of that I have no doubt. Great day. So glad that I got to watch it live.
