Generally it’s preferred that rocket launches take place over the ocean or unpopulated desert areas. In the best case scenarios they’re loud, even small rockets launching mini satellites. Worst case, there’s the possibility of China-like disasters where a rocket plunges forward through a town, on the ground at thousands of miles per hour, until the fuel explodes.
Ka’u and East Hawaii both have coastlines for launches over water and away from towns and villages. The trade winds will of course carry the burnt residue of rocket fuel exhaust over the fields of farmers on Shipman property, farmers who as noted in another thread should not under any circumstances be disturbed by a (proposed) road with Puna drivers passing nearby, so perhaps Shipman will be against a disturbance of rockets and airborne pollution drifting onto their fields. Right?
