Out of curiosity, assuming Starship lands and stays on ground on its
mini-legs (or whatever landing gear) how do they lift it and carry it to
a launch pad?

Is there a litle hook on the nose cone to which TankZilla attach to lift
it?

Once you add thermal tiles, and the opening cargo doors, just curious
where structural attach points might be to lift it and deposit it on the
launch cradles. Obviously there need to stay clear of the nose area flapa.

And soon we'll see your device achieve a 10 km flight.

Did you happen to notice how SN15 (or SN11 or SN10 or SN9 or SN8) was
placed on the pad? Yes, there are permanent attach points.

During construction, commercial; aircradt also have attach points for
each section of fuselageand so the whole plane can be lifted while
landing gear ins installed etc. But those are removed eventually and
holes plugged efore plane painted and delivered.

For a 10km test flight, you can have as many hooks as you want, but that
doesn't mean those are part of final design, especiually for an
"iterative design" half finished protoype.

I admit to not watching the full video of rilling out an SN to pad and
lifting it on pad. But I know that in the high bay, they had the ship on
a stand and they lift the stand so they can roll a flatbed below. And
from there, they can easily get to top and attach the hooks from Tankzilla.

But after a ship has landed on bare field, curious how they will attach
succh with ship standing on flat/bare field.

As always with SpaceX, unless Elon has tweeted something we can only go
by what we've *seen*.
