SpaceX's Starship Launch Mishaps and Contingency Plans.

The SpaceX Starship rocket suffered major damage to the launch pad during its first integrated launch with the Super Heavy booster. While the rocket did not make it to space, Elon Musk said teams could be ready for another launch attempt in one to two months. SpaceX is building a backup site for human launches on the Space Coast to address NASA's concerns about potential Starship damage when it starts flying from Kennedy Space Center. The sheer power of Starship for future launches from KSC has raised NASA concerns about potential damage to the pad. SpaceX is continuing to build out a Starship launch tower at 39-A for when the spacecraft is ready for operational flights.
