From the current r/space thread:
“To sum up their filling it is basically:
* Starship/Superheavy is huge and will likely mean far larger safety exclusion zones when launch/landing than with other current rockets.
* The current launch pads at the Cape are too close together.
* This would mean we’d not be able to work on our launch sites (and possibly other facilities) when Starship/Superheavy is operating (they have a factory at the Cape).
* Starship/Superheavy are planning 44 launches a year, how are we going to get any work done ?
* Please let us build some more launch sites a bit further apart
Please limit the number of Starship/Superheavy launches until this happens.
It very much isn’t “the environment is at risk, stop Starship/Superheavy from flying”.
