    This was obviously a mistake that cost them time and money, seeing as how their entire launch site was destroyed. Could they have been smarter? Perhaps. But given how many companies are actively malicious, I’m not too concerned at one that made an honest mistake.

      Decades of rocket building says you need energy absorption systems and serious ones. Probably enough papers published on this topic to cover walls of my apartment.

        The article mentions deliberate decisions that caused more harm. But it was an “honest mistake” says the comments, so that’s ok.

          How is it honest when they were informed by e Employees about the need to dampen the blast? It seems willful and reckless.

        I’d imagine it’s more like every apartment in the building.

        It was a stupid failure of engineering, but focusing on the enviromnetalism aspect of the explosion is not particularly rational.
