wedged into seat 19F.
Wedged is the right word for Peter King-sized.

Meanwhile unless Musk is getting treatment better than what NASA would have given themselves, if they still were running rocket program, I see no issue.

I am not sure what happened to my reply to you but yes we had restrictions upto 100 mile radius when DOD payloads were flying on the shuttle. 50 miles for non DOD payloads.

Other times we cleared a large area in the Atlantic to eliminate debris impact hazards in case of challenger like incident. We ensured no one flies there as well.

Shuttle had a contingency called RTLS return to launch site which required it to dump SRB and orange tank to fly back to KSC. We never used it. But that would require no flights.

I was once flying to Orlando and saw shuttle liftoff - it was not a DOD flight. We took some pictures as well. We were 50 miles away.

In this case - who you know matters - not sure what you are alluding to but, Elon gets what Elon wants. He even got a special zone in space for his STARLINK satellites.

My take on these matters is fair and equitable - there was no need to delay any flights to OIA or Palm Beach in this case.
