Does this outcome just litter the Gulf with debris and pollutants or what?
That's pretty much all rocket launches that aren't Falcon 9 right now, all over the oceans.
I think the Gulf has plenty of steel in it already, and the liquid methane and oxygen probably isn't getting there, not that they'd be an issue really. It's a non-issue compared to shipping, for example.
Interesting, thanks.
Wouldn't be surprised if it struck London.
