If even part of this analysis is accurate then the launch could be a public relations catastrophe for SpaceX. Especially as it sounds like there are options available to mitigate the issues but aren’t being taken due to costs and time.

- brookst 4y agoAgree that this could be a fiasco if ESG Hound's claims turn out to be true. But I would speculate that the design "failures" of too small buffer and lack of noise mitigation are more likely about SpaceX hoping to set precedent for their vision of frequent space access from everywhere. I'll admit my enthusiasm for that vision is somewhat reduced after reading this article.
