The Artemis Rocket Was So Huge It Destroyed The BLAST Proof Elevators & Damaged Much Of The Facility

Even tho NASA administrators try to downplay launch pad damage It appears that NASA's Artemis 1 rocket launch pad received way more damage than expected when it lifted off from Kennedy Space Center last week. A source within the agency said that damage to the launchpad "exceeded mission management’s expectations," and per his description, it sounds fairly severe. "Elevator blast doors were blown right off, various pipes were broken, some large sheets of metal left laying around," A Reuters reporter noted in response to SpaceNews' Jeff Foust, who on Friday summarized a NASA statement conceding that the launchpad's elevators weren't working because a "pressure wave" blew off the blast doors.
