   Yes it is risky. That's why SpaceX will wait until after they have hit   
   the ocean in a precise and controlled manner before risking a launch tower.   
      
   SpaceX plans on having several launch towers. Two in Boca Chica Texas,   
   two at Cape Canaveral, and later some on sea platforms. I suspect this   
   is because they want to be ready when an accident will happen.
