SpaceX's Ambitious Sea-Based Launches: A Risky Proposition?

SpaceX's plans for frequent Starship launches necessitate innovative solutions, including sea-based launch platforms. However, the history of Sea Launch, plagued by legal, environmental, and safety concerns, serves as a cautionary tale. While SpaceX currently shelved its sea launch project, executives hint at its potential return. This raises critical questions about international regulations, environmental protection, and the long-term effects of high-frequency rocket launches. The future of sea-based launches remains uncertain.
