@neddesmond @SpaceX The danger is def high for South Korea, due to proximity, but much less for distant targets like the US. SK anti-missile tech is excellent.

@ClovenLife No, but shielding got fragged every flight. More control authority is for Falcon Heavy, but also enables Falcon 9 to land in heavier winds.
