Thx as always for ever more links to information. They recently
attempted launch from two pads on nearly the same day, I am wondering
what the turnaround time is for boosters these days, and how much
inventory they have. If they can improve their cycle time, 9/month
seems achievable on the 3 pads they have, aside from conflicts with
other launches.

Random thought - other launch sites long term? This was built to great
fanfare a while back
