Look, maybe it would amaze you to know that EVERY ICBM and SLBM have been tested out of the Cape Canaveral area since the 1950s---and still today. They were pointed out to sea. We have even launched moon shots and space shuttles without harm to Miami Beach. We even launch satellites. Just no end to it. The launches are a tourist attraction. No. Risk.
If we have mobile ICBM platforms, you are welcome to post a photo. Meanwhile, their operational launch sites have been fixed silos and their test launch sites have also been fixed silos (or in some cases surface launch mounts). The problem is that you don't know what you are talking about. Every missile or launch vehicle that goes up has a command destruct system that is activated if it goes outside the launch corridor. Lots of lessons learned in the 50s.
Test? That is a risk they didn’t need to take?! Testing near a city....wtf...what could go wrong?

There is always risk.....and a rocket launch is different than an ICBM on a MOBILE platform.

It’s called a SUBMARINE....they move...they are MOBILE.
The problem is...you must work at the DMV.
I had an opinion, that it was and is, risky to do it so close to a city.....if the government or some dude on the internet doesn’t agree....oh well.
