I think they are having trouble because the fairing itself is flopping around all the way down. A rigid body spacecraft with fins and a parafoil is a piece of cake. The X-38 used one.

I've read that we might be able to resolve continents on exoplanets using our sun, but there are plenty of problems that come along with the nature of the technique.

There is a button for 'action groups' in the VAB.

The parachute is ready for Mars. Not super exciting, but I haven't heard anything about this mission in awhile. https://mars.nasa.gov/news/8380/third-aspire-test-confirms-mars-2020-parachute-a-go/

I didn't realize that ATV was that big.

All space stations aren't created equal. The ISS is immense compared to Tiangong.

This seems like it would be helpful to you. Edit: I dig this one because of the lesson in atmospheric refraction.

It doesn't make it look quite like a rowboat, but...

I'm sure you're right. I haven't seen it yet. I meant Post-Disney canon is a mess in general. Don't mind me, I'm terrible with words.

This is what it was in the pre-Disney canon: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Kessel_Run/Legends Post-Disney canon is a mess, and not worth worrying about. :p

Decollage!

The reimagined BFS from the image above appears to have canards near the nose similarly positioned where Falcon 9's grid fins are.

...with...real...fins...

I'm sure most of you have already seen it, but here's a pretty good Scott Manley video about dual engine Centaur and the CST-100 Starliner:
