he's no duo maxwell because Elon Reeves Musk has never claimed to be a superior robot fighter, he's just a superior manager

Not a rocket physicist here, but I suspect there is a reason actual scientists and engineers have never gone with the water cooler steel plate method to deal with the astronomical forces of a rocket launch that obliterate an improperly built launch pad.

Go placidly amid the noise and haste...
Look all they need to do is build a huge surface area of steel, with no flaws, breaks, or metallurgical impurities, and then keep that perfectly and consistently cool, as it expands, while under incredible multipoint heat-spike, vertical, and lateral pressure, in the hell tornado that is a launch.

Sounds easy for the world's top engineer Elon 'real life Iron Man' Musk.

I guess it is a good question if they could even use another launch site. They are leasing 3 government launch sites but those are for much smaller rockets and in all honesty I don’t think the Federal government is going to allow Musk to just run his launches how he feel likes on their property (it would be amazing if they did though).

Otherwise, that entire launch site has to be rebuilt and yeah, a year is probably fair. That would take until mid-2024 to get another shot and everything is suppose to be ready by late 2025.

I am incapable of understanding how a blue check was ever considered a status symbol when it just functionally tells you the user really is who they claim to be. The "elitist" portion comes from actually being that famous celebrity or billionaire or whatever. Pretending you're on equal ground by paying for a checkmark is incredibly stupid.

MY DECADENT CELEBRITY WIFE was verified because she was at a reputable news publication and often shared original reporting. Her menagerie of chiropractor reply guys and science-is-the-devil mama bears are a primary Twitter Blue user base.

It's a cargo cult. They buy the star and assume the legitimacy will follow.
