Good news: It's SOP for any failed launch
Bad news: This was as close to a complete disaster as he's ever had. It's going to be a year before he can launch again. Going to have to engineer and build a pad from scratch and it has to be thoroughly tested.
I hear they need to drill down 800 feet to set footers for the pad.
that can't be true... the fucking twin towers were only 70' deep.
i don't see what the problem is. they knew it wasn't an ideal launch pad. now they have to investigate why? they must be looking for circumvention of permit denails. musk already stated if they TRIED to build the right launch pad, the bureaucracy would have put the launch date back at least 2 years. I wonder if he was given a NO and he proceeded anyway.
