NASA confirms its $1-billion launchpad is leaning
NASA's $1-billion Mobile Launcher rocket tower has started "leaning" after the addition of connecting arms. The US space agency acknowledged "some deflection and imperfections" but said the launcher was "structurally sound" and does not need any design modifications. Experts claim the launcher, being prepared for the first launch of the Space Launch System in 2019, could be used only once.
