Context

AI analysis

Missing context

The article does not explain why public safety considerations are relevant to far‑field overpressure analyses, what potential risks might arise from excluding public locations, how the change aligns with existing safety standards, or any input from stakeholders such as industry groups, safety experts, or the public.

Important context

Overpressure blast effects can impact both property and people; regulatory analyses typically include public safety margins. Any change to omit public considerations could affect risk assessments and emergency planning for launch and reentry operations.
