I remember Scott manley saying that the pads at LC-39 were built with the super heavy NOVA rocket in mind, in reference to starship operating there.

However on Wikipedia it says that they were actually planning three seperate pads for Nova and they were cancelled when they finalised around Apollo around Saturn.
Any idea about this?

Also worth considering that the original Nova was just an alternative design to the S-V, with similar capability.
It was the second Nova design study that created a much larger rocket for mars missions (up to 600 ton payload to LEO), and weighed around the ballpark of the SS/SH stac.
