Well, considering they probably don't want to blow their launch pad up, and they employ engineers, they've probably determined it's fine and found another way to protect the facilities. I'll reserve judgment on that for when it does blow up.
- rideontime 4y agoYour judgment?
- SkyMarshal 4y agoTo clarify, it’s not really about the launch pad, it’s about the facilities surrounding it. A flame trench redirects some or much of the exhaust through a channel that safely avoids the surrounding facilities. Lack of one means the exhaust goes out in all directions. But yeah I can’t imagine they haven’t considered this and planned for it, so we’ll see.
