Takeaway quote from the article by Charles Boyer: "Blue Origin invested more than $1 billion to rebuild LC-36 from the ground up. Completed in 2021, it serves as the home of New Glenn’s launch pad, vehicle integration, first-stage refurbishment, propellant facilities, and environmental control center. A second pad built to complement that infrastructure would effectively double the complex’s throughput without requiring an entirely new support ecosystem."

    First rule in government spending: why build one when you can have two at twice the price?
