Since Starship will be bigger than a Saturn V, anything closed for an STS mission would need to be closed for that. <br /><br />Playalinda's website says NASA can order the beach or the road to the beach closed when they want to. I'm pretty sure I've heard of them shutting down for Falcon 9 launches out of 39A. <br /><br />The new pad is inside the existing property so it's not like they're expanding, they're just getting closer to the beach. One wonders what politician would think the beach is more important than the thousands of jobs on the Cape? None that I know of. <br /><br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-35506037724108683252021-12-18T08:12:33.037-05:002021-12-18T08:12:33.037-05:00One wonders what that will do to Titusville's ...One wonders what that will do to Titusville's Playalinda Beach? One suspects there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

From what I've read, A was going to be to the north, B where it is, and the current A was going to be C. Aren't there four firing rooms in the building adjacent to the VAB?Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04829766843115897356noreply@blogger.com
