As much as I'd like to see another attempt... Good on the FAA.
That launch was dangerous. Huge chunks of concrete were projected up to 6.5 miles away from the launch site.
They either significantly miscalculated the expected damage to the launch pad, or knew and did it anyway. Both are pretty bad.
They knew it would happen. The engineering here is well established and has been for decades. Musk even tweeted that not having a flame diverter “might be a mistake”. Willful negligence.
