For those not following the story, this is an attempt to launch a massive rocket without adequate cooling or shockwave mitigation, so it’s likely to cause substantial harm to the local ecosystem and the small community of retirees who live near the launch site.

On the one hand. This is going to be a disaster of N1 proportions, especially to the environment. Even in the increasingly unlikely event that it clears the pad instead of topping the Wikipedia list of biggest artificial non-nuclear explosions.
On the other, cool explosions and we’ll get a WTYP episode out of it, so who’s to say what’s good or bad here?
