    Not necessarily, the launch tower is something like a half billion dollar piece of infrastructure and if it had been damaged or leveled it would have been an enormous setback in terms of money and time, as the second tower is nowhere near ready

      I think you’ve got too many zeros on your price estimate, no? The tower is huge, but there’s no way it costs five hundred million dollars.
