My analogy of the LC200. It it a bit like a 747, a big heavy pice of metal, but only cheap white goods in comparison.

 

At maximum cruising altitude of 43,000 feet. You only have about 60kph min to max speed before you either stall the aircraft because the air is so thin or you go too close supersonic which will destroy the aircraft. There is next to no margin of error.

 

The LC200 in on a knife edge of destruction with in  effect an ignorant drive at the wheel, who quite frankly needs considerably more safety margin.

 

With 238,000 litres of fuel on board or 138 litres in case of the white goods, it is just one of the many payload limits on the path to a catastrophic event.
