Yeah. Front seat viewing for them, probably charge the tourists.

Anyway, they are launching eastwards over the sea, the rocket is only about 20 meters long, and if, just IF it went catastrophic, a big bang, the explosive radius is less than 500 meters and mostly carbon fibre body shell. Spectacular but basically harmless.
They obviously don't see too much danger. If you look at the launch pad layout the launch building is pretty close to the pad, couple of 100 meters maybe.

C'mon guys, lets get this thing off the ground !! I want 'NASA Style' live video feed on this. Too cool !!
