      Came here to say this, and I'll bet it's already being discussed internally, if only as a carrot to motivate folks to get tower 2 ready to accept another stack.
      I can imagine the tweet now: "Starship flight 6 ready for launch, pending regulatory approval of flight 5"
      That would be immediately retweeted by Musk: "SpaceX has built two full prototype starship stacks and brought a second launch tower online in the time it's taken the FAA to approve one launch."

    I'm guessing that there won't be a launch "table" for the second launch tower because the booster sits at least 60 feet off the ground. SpaceX has indicated that the third version of the starship and booster would be a total of 50 feet taller yet due to an FAA ruling the second tower can't be any taller than the first one therefore if the launch platform is only 10 feet high there's the fifty extra feet.

    It would be awesome to see a retractable arm for the booster, like the one ship has. It would make a lot more sense if they are going to go with a mobile launch platform. I'm also surprised that they haven't done anything about how they load the FTS explosives, I would have thought that they would install them facing the launch tower and designed a working platform that moves into place , rather than removing the ship and lowering it all the way to the ground.

    One more.. I think they are going to change the whole configuration (Booster and ship wise), and go with 32, (as they wait on the FAA). Meanwhile, look at B.O's "fly whenever," plan. They already have a go.
    X cant afford a bad ending on a landing attempt. It would take at least a year for them to bounce back in all aspects.

    What if the second tower is just for catching ? You wouldn't need any of the fueling infrastructure. Well, maybe something to de fuel what's left. Wouldn't need massive hold down clamps of flame protection?
    Tower 2 is farther away from the tank farm and tower 1 in case of a mishap.

    fixed mount seems likely to me. all the plumbing, data, and power connections violate the "no part is the best part" axiom. Also, extensive pad refreb is not rapid reusable. It may help with rapid launch cadence, through parallel processing. But SpaceX would still have all the cost of an extensive refreb.

    With a mobile launch mount, they could also move the mount away immediately after a launch and before a booster recovery, further reducing wear and tear, and therefore required refurbishment. Even if it just rolled 50-100 yards, that could make a considerable difference.
