Entry/Egress from BFS on Mars

At KSC, they'll have a nice tower, elevator, and air conditioned arm to
bring people between the tower and the BFS/Starship.


What about when it lands on Mars? Do they just open the door high up,
and unroll a rope ladder to the ground and hope that ladder stays on so
they can one day climb back onto the ship? Just curious if a flexible
ladder over such a long distance would be viable?

If they need attach points for latter at regular intervals, would such
present aerodynamic challenges for take off/Landing or be small enough
to be a no brainer? (for re-entry, such attach points would conduct
heat to the structure under heat shield would they not?

I assume there would be a floor for cargo with its own hatch, and arm
that can be extended out and a winch to lowr pallets to the ground?


I wondered about the same thing. What if the elevator breaks down when
they're on the surface. How are they going to climb back up into the
habitable section? Are there emergency stairsteps in the side of the rocket?
