Re:SpaceX Starship Super Heavy Project at the Boca Chica Lau... by Animats on Wednesday October 25, 2023 @11:30PM (#38021320)
Boca Chica now has a better launch pad with a flame deflector and a water deluge system.[1] They really needed that. The first version just fired the entire output of the booster at a flat concrete slab, which destroyed the pad, sending chunks of concrete into the ocean and around the area.
