I'm not a rocket scientist, but I'm relatively sure that launching pads shouldn't look like bomb craters after the rocket takes off

It's almost like there needs to be *something* there to counter the thrust vector, whose magnitude is measured in meganewtons, MN. Maybe something to spread that force out laterally? Or maybe add a dense liquid of some sort? It looks like they parked a rocket over a concrete garage and called it a day! It's embarrassing, TBH.
