This is just a SWAG, but I expect that by the time it lands most of the
fuel & oxidizer are used up so that the majority of the weight is down
at the bottom where the rocket engine is located, giving it a fairly low
center of gravity. Couple that with the apparent wide stance of the
extendable landing legs & it's stable like a heavy camera bag weighing
down a tripod.

Thanks for sharing.

But how does it not topple over after landing and shutting down? The
ship seems to be rolling quite a bit.
