I know Space X is pushing for an orbital launch of Starship in December but the orbital launch mount keeps getting blasted by the huge thrust of the raptors each time a static fire is performed which requires remedial work to repair minor damage (mostly shattered concrete skin and other debris )
For such an incredible, progressive, innovative private space company why didn’t they design some sort of flame diverter or blast shield in the orbital launch mount from day one to mitigate some of the damage caused ??

I can’t image what a 33 raptor 10 to 15 sec static fire will do to the orbital launch mount

Thoughts , comments and any inside information most welcome

Thanks
