Blue Origin filed to the FAA saying they should cap SpaceX's Starship launches

“To sum up their filling it is basically:

* Starship/Superheavy is huge and will likely mean far larger safety exclusion zones when launch/landing than with other current rockets.

* The current launch pads at the Cape are too close together.

* This would mean we’d not be able to work on our launch sites (and possibly other facilities) when Starship/Superheavy is operating (they have a factory at the Cape).

* Starship/Superheavy are planning 44 launches a year, how are we going to get any work done ?

* Please let us build some more launch sites a bit further apart Please limit the number of Starship/Superheavy launches until this happens.

It very much isn’t “the environment is at risk, stop Starship/Superheavy from flying”.
