Didn't a large Florida residential building collapse recently?

And the inspections all showed tons of problems before it happened?

I'm sure things have gotten better since.

they have to see if the loads were too much to be exposed to

quote:

In a series of tweets, Metzger predicted that it will be a busy couple of weeks for structural engineers to assess the risks of damage from the storm and potentially seek waivers to fly the vehicle after its exposure to these loads

They can only take it into and out of the assembly building so many times before they have to disassemble the whole thing and inspect it all. Iirc they only have one or two more moves left on the stack so they decided to risk it and weather the storm but it seems that they got bit

Rockets are designed to withstand moving fast through air, so logically they should withstand air moving fast.

One time during a meeting one of our really old HVAC guys who has since retired was talking about a backup generator and he kept saying "massive loads", "this thing is gonna need to be able to handle a really massive load" I was loving dying

As they say, it ain't just that the wind is blowing, it's what the wind is blowing. Getting sand and debris blasted isn't healthy for rockets.

In the previous video I was wondering why so many homes were built on sand and gravel that close to the edge. I see the strategy for trying to keep everything in place is to throw up concrete and dump boulders in the ocean.

The rip-rap! It does nothing!

Yeah, trying to imagine how many toxic chemicals are being dumped into the ocean from all those destroyed houses, given how much of a hazardous waste dump the average undersink or garage cabinet is.
