SpaceX admits daily launches would cut off Pecan Island access
Original: SpaceX admits 30 launches a day will block local access to Pecan Island
SpaceX has acknowledged in filings or statements that a launch cadence of up to 30 rockets a day from its facility would at times block local residents' access to Pecan Island, Louisiana, as safety closures would shut the only road connecting the coastal community. The admission has alarmed residents of the small fishing and hunting community, who face routine isolation if the schedule goes ahead.
Why now: Locals and Louisiana media are reacting to the company's own admission that its ambitious launch rate would repeatedly isolate a coastal community.
