An argument could be made that 8 was as big or bigger of a risk than 11. 11 is a towering achievement, but 10 had already tested the abort, 9 flew the lem in LEO and it was known to be functional.... 8 didn't really get a test flight, they just went for it. 8 should get talked about far more often than it is.

Elon Musk said:
We're launching out of Vandenberg in California. They were worried about seal procreation - whether the seals would be dismayed by the sonic booms. There have been a lot of rockets launched out of Vandenberg and the seal population has steadily increased. If anything, rocket booms are an aphrodisiac.
We were forced to kidnap a seal, strap it to a board, put headphone on the seal, and play sonic boom sounds to it to see if it would be distressed.
This is an actual thing that happened. I have pictures.
Elon Musk said:
The amazing part is how calm the seal was. If I were the seal, I would be like, this is the end.

Finally. First launch was six months ago. If this one goes well, hopefully the turn around is quicker next time.

If it goes well the only thing stopping the next launch will be spaceX. I would expect something like a 2 month turnaround at most
