33 engines FIRING “DON’T blow up the pad”, Elon Musk WARNING…
SpaceX failed to launch the mighty Starship in the first attempt on Monday, 17/4. Hundreds of space enthusiasts and SpaceX employees gathered at South Padre Island, Texas, to safely view the launch at ‘Isla Blanca’ where SpaceX’s Starbase launch tower at Boca Chica Beach is clearly visible from across a ship channel, so the scrub made them all quite disappointed.
However, this is not too surprising because SpaceX CEO Elon Musk himself has previously warned:
“It would take us uh probably several months to rebuild the launch pad if we melt it uh so my top hope is please a great smile upon us”.
It has been a long time since SpaceX launched any rockets from South Texas. Its final prototype, “SN15,” took flight for six minutes on May 5, 2021. After flying to an altitude of 10 km, this was the first prototype to achieve a soft landing, demonstrating key technology for the Starship design.
Since that time, SpaceX has invested heavily—likely on the order of $1 billion to $2 billion—in launch infrastructure and production facilities at the Starbase site in South Texas. Although it was willing to take risks with the Starship prototypes, the full stack of Super Heavy and Starship carries substantially more propellant, and an accident at the launch site would be highly destructive.
Therefore, SpaceX is proceeding more cautiously toward its orbital test flight. The goal is to ensure the rocket clears the launch site so that it does not damage valuable infrastructure there, at a minimum.
