Any guess as to how big the debris field is and what risk there is to people on the ground? Does the flight plan just take it over largely uninhabited land?


The launchpad is right next to the Gulf Of Mexico. It launches straight over water.


The launch site is right on the coast and the flight path took it over the ocean, with a strict exclusion zone for boats enacted beforehand.


It launches on the Texas coast near the Mexican border, going towards the ocean, for this very reason.
