Crucially, Pecan Island is ~30 miles away from the nearest town and 50 miles from a major city.
Starship is insanely loud:
- At 5 miles out, my wife had to cover her ears
- At 12 miles, it sounds like a table saw (good BYU study on this)
- At 20 miles, it sounds like a vacuum

Thank you to @LAGovJeffLandry and the great people of Louisiana for all of their support as we work together on this audacious project →
