Pictures of damage to the mobile launcher from the Artemis launch.
Makes you wonder if that was expected or not.

Watching rockets take off, you wonder how anything underneath them could stand up to the temps and pressures.

They flood that entire area with a huge amount of water during take-off to help protect it.

This picture is the support that the SRB rests on before launch. I would think that being exposed to the intense exhaust blast and heat, that they would be considered a consumable item. The circled items are cameras which seem to have survived intact.
