You know what causes really intensely powerful vibrations in the ground? Rocket launches. And do you know what really powerful vibrations in the ground cause in coastal wetlands? Liquifaction.
SpaceX has completely lost their grip on reality and all of us are going to pay the price in various ways as they try to build impossible dangerous things.
@sundogplanets that launchpad is going to fall in the ground a handful of centimeters per launch, what a great revolutionary concept from Big Space

@sundogplanets I didn't realize that we were gonna get NORCO, but with SpaceX instead of Shell.

@sundogplanets I thought hey were building something more like a soil-stabilised concrete boat?
Viz, it's floating in semi-fluid soil rather than being anchored to any kind of foundation (just how far down is the bedrock?)

I have been wondering if any of the proposed launch pads will ever be completed; let alone used to launch anything.
Since pouring the concrete and vibrating it to get the bubbles out is already a big task if trying to build on sand.
There's a reason Canaveral was built on coquina and limestone.

i don't understand your use of the phrase "has lost their grip on reality..."
lost? like, they USED to have such a grip? i just don't understand what you're implying...

@sundogplanets And that’s before the coming innundation, and the rise of wet-bulb temps to the point at which human bodies can’t cool themselves multiple times a year.

@sundogplanets ... So, they built a launch platorm that will bury itself in the mud, and cause who knows what damage to the surrounding ecosystems in the process, and possibly set of some landslides or similar in a radious around it?

*Things include, but are not limited to: rockets, launch pads, coastal wetlands, the atmosphere, the night sky, Low Earth orbit.

@sundogplanets but we know the star quarterback to the football team (not including me) and we are so caught up in some pop star's love life- I know this. And if you really want to have yourself set straight on the important things- catch up on anything plastic. Autism caused by vaccines? Meh. Try ingesting and breathing in and drinking micro plastics for about 60 years... Please, don't kill the messenger(s).

@sundogplanets I lived in Louisiana for 10 years. It's one of the most right-wing places on Earth. They're getting what they voted for. I feel sympathy only for the poor animals and plants that are stuck there. You couldn't pay me to move back there.

@jappel @sundogplanets that's only a problem for the poors and the outdoors. People who live in boxes and have money to pay for electricity and AC will be fine, especially if they have the money for very large boxes.

@sundogplanets Louisiana is like Hyperloop. Just some fictional investment promise to get favours from the regime but with no intention to actually do anything except drive value of land up.
Possible orbital inclinations are even more resticted than from Boca Chica. And lndings on descending node would pass over Dallas/Forth Worth who won't likely be too happy with potential for debris if something goes wrong.

And their own staff. Their safety record is, um, not great. -

So the whole thing is just going tip ever so slightly off vertical? Absolutely no way that could stress the launch vehicle in unexpected ways... -
