I remember everyone freaking about only having one tower before the first booster catch attempts. Seeing the refit and new construction timelines really validates that fear, but I guess it's their MO to go for it.
I suppose "going for it" might cause a delay if they break the chopsticks, but waiting for a second pair of chopsticks to be ready will cause a delay.
Oh for sure, they just have a much higher risk tolerance than me. They finally just got the first Starlink launch up! And the ship had an engine out!
