@goatsarah @thomasfuchs the launch facility that SpaceX uses in Florida was built to handle a less powerful rocket than Starship and has features that are completely missing from the Boca Chica pad

And all of those features are so well documented that interested laypeople are familiar with them, let alone professional rocket engineers

They thought they could get away with cutting corners on the launchpad, and the cut corners turned around and smacked them hard.

If that facility isn't outright shut down, it won't be seeing any launches for a couple of years
