LEO is the ocean, not an island (let alone a continent). We create cruise liners to ride the oceans, not artificial islands in the middle of them. We need a physical place, which has physical resources, to make our future out there.

The fairing ships were split between launches with the intention of dunking both fairing halves and scooping them both up with one ship. Interesting.
Which booster has the most soot? SpaceX booster launch history! (discussion)
