| Nov 8, 2018 at 12:08 | comment | added | uhoh | @RedSonja I'd thought about working "strap-on" in there somehow, in place of "adding an extra side booster" but then I thought it just got weird. | |
| Nov 8, 2018 at 12:05 | comment | added | RedSonja | This would be a good place to use the word "promiscuous" instead of "gregarious". | |
| Nov 8, 2018 at 3:30 | comment | added | uhoh | @Puffin How far is Cape Canaveral from Kennedy Space Center, administratively and programmatically? | |
| Nov 8, 2018 at 1:32 | comment | added | uhoh | @Puffin I'm using something like $d_{tot}=d_{t}+d_{ap}$ where $d$ stands for distance measured in "difficulty" units. There is both transportation difficulty or $d_t$ which measures how hard and far it would be to change your mind and move a rocket from one site to the other, and administrative and programatic difficulty which is sort-of self explanatory and redundant. Looking at ...difference between Cape Canaveral and Kennedy Space Center? it sounds like it wouldn't be so easy to change your mind at the last minute and move between sites. | |
| Nov 7, 2018 at 20:45 | comment | added | Puffin | Is it the distance between pads that is important in counting "two adjacent pads" or their administrative owners? See my comment on Antzi's answer. The two soyuz pads at Baikonur are rather further apart than the two Falcon 9 pads on Merrit Island. | |

| Nov 7, 2018 at 15:26 | comment | added | uhoh | @Roger I would certainly consider that a good answer. I've mentioned that interpretation should be flexible, and launch from an airplane is something I didn't expect but it certainly fits. Launch from the Moon is at least from the surface of a body, much more of a launch site than an airplane's underbelly. I'd say just go for it in this case. | |
| Nov 7, 2018 at 15:04 | comment | added | Roger | The Apollo Lunar Module has put itself into orbit from a number of lunar sites, which seems like it should be notable. I'll let someone more learned decide if that's within the scope of this question. | |

| Nov 7, 2018 at 3:40 | comment | added | uhoh | @DrSheldon sorry about that. I really like com-wiki's, and that would have been a good, probably better thing to do than my edit "...so that the answer withstands the test of time..." | |

| Nov 7, 2018 at 3:32 | comment | added | DrSheldon | I was going to add a community wiki answer, but the question edit makes it moot. See template here in meta: space.meta.stackexchange.com/a/1091/26446 | |
| Nov 7, 2018 at 2:01 | comment | added | uhoh | @Paul on second thought, I think that's the right thing to do, and it only took a minor edit. Thanks! | |

| Nov 7, 2018 at 1:18 | comment | added | Paul | I like this question and it definitely has a canonical answer as of this point in spacetime. However, I’m concerned that the answer to this question is likely to change over time. Perhaps there is a way to modify this question so that the answer withstands the test of time... | |
