The guardian is kind of irrelevant to what I was getting at.
50 miles, not 100 miles.
25 miles each way is not that big of a deal. In college I spent six months commuting 40 minutes each way (traffic gods willing it wouldn't be longer) from 31st street to Springhouse, PA.
Valley Forge is definitely at the limits of what I'd put up with though, unless there's good train service.
But it’s weird because NRx/far right people are often very into the sort of people associated with Cathedrals. Royalty; conservative cardinals who wear the full antiquated costume and gewgaws; etc.

Yes but if you had a five ton, meter wide strand of spider silk…
"would pose minimal risk for launches continuing past LEO"
I suppose so, and yet you could say the same about aircraft flying over the launch site on launch day. A collision is unlikely due to the speed of the rocket and the short time it would be at aircraft altitudes.
But I'm pretty sure they still don't want anyone flying over the launch pad.

It gets led to them. By a human.
