I know it's a different company, but after SpaceX's most recent launch spewed debris 10+ miles, I wouldn't be thrilled about being in close proximity to a Blue Origin launch site.


I live out here. 10 miles may as well be an inch. It is VAST.

All of the towns around here have a population of 2000 or less, save for Alpine at a whopping 20k. Personally, I have zero concerns about being in the radius of any of all that.


This is 750 miles from Boca Chica.


From the article: "...Van Horn, fifteen miles to Lobo’s north, the town that houses Blue Origin’s launch site."


Ah, didn't catch the Blue Origin vs Space X mention. Strange that they're launching rockets so far inland.
