Everything will not be perfect the first time. Waiting for perfection guarantees that no progress is ever made. They’re going to launch, it’s going to do whatever it does (hopefully complete all test objectives!) and then we’ll have real data.
Armed with real data, SpaceX and the various agencies involved will determine the next steps. I’ll be surprised if some improvements are not needed/required. But arguing it to death without doing anything? That’s just civilization suicide.

- anonymousab 4y agoBut nobody said not to make progress. Like, they could say least apply the same mitigations as have been used at most other launch sites. It costs more money and takes a bit more time, which is annoying and why SpaceX doesn't want to bother. It's not a dichotomous choice of "now and success or later and failure" and it never has been.
