NASA wanted SpaceX to have a backup in the case of a StarShip blowing up at LC-39A
SpaceX is trying to do another launch site for StarShip at LC-49 No idea how many StarShip pads for LC-49 but SpaceX Kennedy has parts for 3 StarShip towers under construction. That would mean by next year Florida might have 2 pads for manned and heavy Falcon 9s and maybe 3 pads or more for StarShip. |
