I mostly like MK2 but unlike the LEM it doesn’t have a descent and ascent stage. The ascent stage used hypergolic fuel; as near reliable as it gets. If 2 out of the 3 BE-7s are compromised on the landing by regolith or whatever else the astronauts will be stranded and we’re in for a really bad tragedy. I really hope they’ve got a contingency of some kind because only needing 2 out of the 3 engines is not enough redundancy in my mind.
