Seems like common sense is dead: Blue Origin wants to launch rockets next door to a school zone.
Local parents are furious after Blue Origin officials reportedly dismissed safety concerns about their new launch pad being less than a mile from Hillcrest Elementary. They told a community meeting that "the risk is mathematically negligible." But I did the math—common sense says you don't put a firecracker near a baby's crib. The school board is now demanding an emergency meeting to review FAA loopholes. Maybe if the CEO’s kids went there, we’d have a different answer. #CommonSenseCrisis
