Mostly Data centers into high inclination orbits. Lower inclinations won’t be safely feasible.

Where do you think KSC and Boca Chica are located? Hurricanes and launch sites have been around for 50+ years.

It's gonna be ok.

Good for Vermillion Parish - MVGA!

Okay, maybe MVG is more accurate.

One of the benefits of this location is rhr proximity to Henry hub which will provide efficient access to methane gas which they need

It also gives them goid access to offshore rigs to launch and land rockets

Exactly. OMB, therefore Elon bad. If it was Soros building one of his sign making plants, paying purple haired people $17/hr, they’d be giddy with delight.

Wow

A launch every 48 minutes every day is awesome.

Maybe now all the Vermillion parish dumbfuks will have no reason to support the Menhaden industry because of “muh jobs.” They can work for Space X and stop killing our states fishery.

Fortunately for the KSC, due to the Sargasso Sea east of it, hurricanes will go north or south of the KSC or simply lose strength. One only has to look at the Florida coast line to understand why KSC was placed on that Cape.

I would love to know what those engineers working for Musk have come up with regarding hurricane issues.

Maybe. It's up on piers so maybe it won't wash away. It is a wood framed structure. All of the roofing joist is attached with the frame with hurricane tabs, so maybe it won't blow away. We haven't had to find out. Hopefully it does better than the pogey plant in Cameron.

As an old friend who became a top structural engineer for Shell globally once told me when Bullwinkle was being fabricated, an offshore jacket is built to withstand an atomic blast because the sea is more powerful
