correctly. I seriously doubt there is any launch insurance at all on
this shot. There's no point to it.


When is the next commercial lauch for that pad? Because if it is
destoyed by this "beta" launch, the next commercial launches could be
delayed significantly and SpaceX would not meet its total launch
commitments this year if it needs to fit them all inside its remaining
pads (with the extra costs of moving launches to remaining pads).


KSC's pad 39A will be used mostly for Falcon Heavy and crewed Dragon 2
missions (mostly on Falcon 9).

LC40, at Cape Canaveral (not far away), can handle all non-crewed
missions on Falcon 9.
