Falcon doesn't launch people to the moon.
Yeah, maybe with a satirical /S after the comment.
So far I haven't read anything about the condition of the launch pad.
Sure ... the Musk fan base likes that.
We'll see how this development goes.
Once again, the dead horse being beat. Maybe move on from your tired drumbeat. Go grind your axe elsewhere. This is an enjoyable thread.
It's intact with a bit of wear and tear.
Thanks. It's nice to know the launch pad was not scattered over half the state of Texas.
Now, MuirWannabe, not so sensitive, please.
I was expressing my belief that the SpaceX (Musk) team is not doing the required amount of engineering for this particular project - if I hurt your feelings, I'm sorry. I hope they are successful.
I don't have an axe to grind. And, I too find space exploration and most any space based sensor discussion an enjoyable topic.

You have never worked in R&D even the simples things have failures and multiple revisions, this is how you learn.... baby steps.... failures tell you a lot of what is going on both good and bad.
As the team dusted off the cobwebs and started bringing down log files and images from the flight, it became apparent that the helicopter had spent the last two months parked on something truly remarkable. Sitting directly under Ingenuity’s feet, spread over the fractured rock of the riverbed, was a collection of cobbles and pebbles unlike any that scientists had seen before. Many were partially eroded and exhibited a vesicular texture more reminiscent of fresh basalt. These rocks immediately garnered a powerful reaction from project scientists, who requested that Ingenuity perform a dedicated science scouting flight as soon as possible.
Thanks for that, much appreciated.Below is the SpaceX summary of the 2nd test of Starship. I could not copy the text so I copied the entire photo. Click or tap on it to expand and read.
