SpaceX eventually wants to land vehicles on Mars, where such landing infrastructure won't exist (at first).

(The Dragon cargo capsule has windows, despite cargo not needing to be able to look outside into space -- the windows are there because the capsule is designed to eventually carry humans some day.)




Seems like it would save money in the interim though, and they'd still have the data of whether it fell or not.
