Fascinating to see how financial and timing considerations continue to drive SH/SS design alterations in real-time.



Through that lens, I wonder the following:



Using the current CAA atop the FSS at 39A as a visual and logistical proxy, knowing they'll need one that's 360' (+or-) up for fit checks by 2022 (24?), where would another 400ft tower be constructed?



-An offshore launch platform: Will that really facilitate fast and cheap? Seems like an unnecessary logistical challenge for the early 2020s launch campaigns.



-BC TX? Is there really enough room and resources to accommodate everything needed for a Crewed Vehicle of this class?



-39B? Political and logistical mess. But that clean Pad would be my first choice if other launchers were to be...de-prioritized.



Could 39A be the least expensive and time consuming option to make additions, modifications over the next few years?



If SH will indeed have landing wing/ legs, then no need for the cradle pad design and the current LZ-1 could accommodate. Maybe.



Again, what's the fastest and cheapest?
