How tall would you say the stand is? My estimate is 7 to 8 feet. One thing that surprises me to an extent is the limited amount of water spaceX uses on the launch and landing pads. I recall NASA used a lot of water on launch pads, not just for heat control, but for sound/vibration damping. I have friends who live on SPI (South Padre Island) and they say the noise and vibration is intense.
