The throttle will have to be brought to idle, otherwise you're p1ssing away your braking power.

That's a good point. It suggests the additional question, when does the human pilot start closing the throttle in this landing mode?

I suppose thrust vectoring might be used to hold the nose up after touchdown. Is that the case for SRVL landing?

These SRVL landings are planned to happen along the axial centerline of the aviation deck, and not on an angle deck, correct?

In general, is any sort of go-around attempt simply impossible because the F-35B will have insufficient kenetic energy to do so? Unless I've missed a post, the SRVL fellows posting here haven't firmly said yes or no on this point.
