      Tower 2 is in Florida. Tower B should be fine. Or, the second tower at Starbase. Or, ...
      There will always be people naming things the way they want no matter what anyone says.

    • @DUKE_of_RAMBLE
      @DUKE_of_RAMBLE 2 місяці тому +1

      ​@@knowledgeisgood9645 Hmmm...
      I see your point, but like... I feel like if we talk chronologically, it IS Tower 2.
      If we go with letter designations, then there flat out ISN'T a Tower 2, as it would then be:
      *Boca Chica:* Tower A & B
      *KSC:* Tower A _(& B & C etc)_
      _But then..._ you ALWAYS have to include the location designator. Whereas numerically naming them by chronological order, you automatically know which tower, and where, is being talked about.
      (just my completely unbiased 2¢)

    Will the towers need to be taller? Block 3 of the booster/starship is projected to be a lot bigger, and I wonder if the increased size means the current tower solution can't stack them.

      Orbital insertion has not been 'a problem'. Making sure it does not get stuck in orbit has.
      Next flight has to show how good the new heat shield is and repeat the landing of the booster (at sea or on the chopsticks) and improving the precision of the ship's landing. Anything else would be a bonus.
