Depicted interior of a V3 Starship booster. Note the three gridfins' control assemblies are in pressure tight compartments within the methane tank, instead of the interstage. The CH4 downcomer is much wider, and can act as a holding tank for landings. And there's a LOX holding tank in the lower side of the LOX tank.

New environments will spawn new religions, or new iterations of old religions.
That's why I don't really spend time mocking Mormon magic underwear, and Joseph Smith's "translation" of the "Book of Abraham" (which was a fragment of an Egyptian burial manual).
You can't start archeological expeditions using the LOTR books. But you can start archeological expeditions using the Bible (Genesis mentioning the Hittites, for example).
