But is it worth it? 🚀
SpaceX has reportedly submitted a proposal to address NASA's concerns about damage to launch infrastructure, including a plan for launching astronauts from a different launch pad to 39A if required. However, this could take months to gain approval from NASA.
Last year, SpaceX accelerated the construction of a Starship launch pad in Cape Canaveral, Florida, which is located a few hundred feet from 39A. This launch pad, called Launch Complex 40, is the subject of its own regulatory review, which is expected to conclude next week.The private space firm was granted environmental approval for a Starship launch from Cape Canaveral a few years ago.
Up to now, SpaceX has only launched its Starship SN prototypes from its development site at Boca Chica, Texas. These test flights saw the Starship prototype reach high altitudes several times without reaching orbital space.
SpaceX is reportedly investigating ways to strengthen 39A against a potential explosion and against the immense force of a successful Starship launch. and it will have the power to launch a massive 300,000 lbs of payload to orbit.Stay ahead with the latest science, technology and innovation news, for free:
