I thought Musky boy wanted to SAVE the Earth from humans and that’s why we need to go to Mars??
You misunderstood. He meant he called “savesies” on Earth, and now he has exclusive rights to use it for whatever he wants to do.
Legitimate question… Where else is the research and development going to be done? Launches are going to happen anyway, right now most rockets are just discarded as trash into the ocean along with any excess toxic chemicals in their production and use. Meanwhile the companies trying to change that paradigm and making things reusable, get vilified at every opportunity by the press, who never offer any sort of alternative ideas, just constant complaints to get advertising clicks nowadays
They’re looking there because it’s away from populated spaces. Guess what, most places away from populations are going to be in “protected” habitat. Because that’s what we have left in many cases, especially anywhere near coastlines.
The entirety of the Space Launch infrastructure in Florida is located in a protected habitat, by design. It keeps risk to the human population low. Meanwhile everything around that habitat has been built up as much as it can be.
Land? They haven’t had a successful flight sans explosion since Biden was president.
