Focus on the things you can control. At a time when $20 million, $50 million, $100 million, $500 million, up to $33 billion homebuilding firms need to discern and act decisively to ride out a 2027 [and possibly 2028] market rife with challenges, with no outside help, the nicest, common turn of phrase is to focus on what you can control. Entirely too abstract, however, especially in a market headed sideways or down. What’s not abstract is job sites with a dumpster here and a dumpster there, full of construction materials not used on the job. What’s not abstract are scheduling mix-ups or a construction document error that adds five days to the start-to-completion cycle. What’s not abstract is a chief accounting officer giving notice of departure two weeks into a fourth quarter that’s a knife’s edge, with homes near completion but not yet sold and a pile of invoices still to be paid. What’s not abstract is the patience it takes to say no to a land deal whose price has dropped, knowing you’ll need it in 18 to 24 months, even though it may sell for an even lower price six to nine months from now.

Why SpaceX's Starship Falls Sideways Before Flipping Upright To Land - BGR
It would be fair to say that design teams at SpaceX threw a lot of the rulebook out the window when they designed Starship, which is the most powerful rocket ever built. SpaceX's flagship rocket, which is still under developmental testing, was designed for missions that had never been attempted before. Starship is expected to carry payloads and crew to Mars at scale, and this required out-of-the-box thinking. It is for this reason that the Starship vehicle and Super Heavy booster had to be designed using a different approach. One of the most novel parts of any Starship flight is the landing, where the Starship vehicle glides on its belly through the upper parts of the atmosphere after reentry, then flips into an upright position for landing at the last possible moment. This is done to gradually slow it down, to manage reentry temperatures effectively, and to use a flip maneuver to get Starship into an upright position so it can land on the surface of Mars, or to be caught by SpaceX's Mechazilla launch tower arms back on Earth. SpaceX designed this flight profile (and designed Starship around the concept) for a good reason, which was to shed speed passively during reentry and to
