“The company cleared a major hurdle in June with the completion of an environmental review that allows the launch to go forward, but requires dozens of modifications to the mission plan.”

I wonder just how these government paper pushers felt qualified to discern flaws in the mission plan.

How will they be able to hold 33 engines to the ground if aimed vertically?

If aimed vertically down there will be no issue.

My quick calculation say 180 one inch grade 8 bolts should do it.
