Spot the person who didn't bother to watch the video!
The ball is the liquid hydrogen tank (there are O2 tanks in that same area).
The cargo area is the flat top. You don't have to put things "inside" when landing on the moon, because there's no atmosphere to worry about.
And "flimsy"??? Have you ever seen a Lunar Excursion Module? You know, the Apollo landers made by Grumman? They used actual _foil_ as walls!
OK: so the world's richest man says he'll put a human in space this year (albeit suborbital, like Alan Shepard's Mercury capsule... hence the name). He says he'll fly New Glenn in 2021. He says he'll land Blue Moon in 2024.
I'm not sure I'd bet against him.
