But that is really beside the point since this is a private company (not the gov) that got approval to set up camp doing dangerous stuff close to a small community and 1.5 miles was danger close to begin with. The article cites having to comply with FAA regulations and public safety rules? These aren't new rules and regs, they are just further along in the process now to where these things will impact them. Like I said, there is plenty of land not being used on CCAFS. You know, where rockets are launched from already. I think there is more to this than the article provides. And even at 3x's appraisal value offered as non negotiable, they are still being forced out. How's about Elon fuck off to somewhere else or go buy them a community like they already have or should I say had. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By wtfboombrb: Hasn't NASA already figured out the best location for launching space flights is on Florida's Atlantic coast? Why isn't Musk over there? Boca Chica would actually be better for geostationary flights (slightly lower latitude), and Texas is full of NG to fill tankers with (Tankers filling up propellant depots will probably be the majority of flights in the future, actually). Florida/KSC will probably handle manned flights and flights and LEO flights with inclinations above ~35deg. IDK if Vandy is going to be launching Starship... At least not a first. Starship probably has enough overcapacity to put stupid amounts of payload in a polar orbit even with a dogleg from florida. |

https://www.businessinsider.com/spacex-texas-spaceport-boca-chica-village-buyout-offer-letters-2019-9 Spacex got approval (local?federal? anyone rocketship knowledgable?) to build and operate orbital rockets there in 2014 but has since changed up their plans for the site. Even with their original plans for the site, 1.5 miles away? Fuck that, too close, even if it was just small rockets for orbital launches. Anyone saying this wasn't the end game from day one is full of shit. Plenty of land on KSC and CCAFS to have done this. But hey, it's not like a bunch of old people that were living the life they wanted before Elon shown up can afford to fight this in court. The Kelo case was local to me. The land that they stole from those people to allow a business to build a hotel has still not been developed to this day. It was all for nothing. |

new Raptor engines showing up now...
^This right here ladies and gents is the best/most advanced rocket engine ever made. 4 million horsepower of American made sexiness... Russian ORSC engines can suck a fat dick. Design looks like it has gotten much cleaner looking and lighter. Much less sensors attached. |
