[Simple] Rocket silo destinations for space platforms

When a rocket silo is built on a platform, the possible destinations for a rocket should be the platforms orbiting the same space location.
There are lots of additional modding options and possible functionalities that could be implemented with silos and platforms but I think this is both straightforward and uncontroversial. There is simply no other reasonable choice for space platform rocket silos: the current functionality makes no sense and neither case impacts vanilla at all. If you want to add a more robust rocket destination interface that's cool, but I think this should still be the default behavior for modded rocket silos on space platforms.

I'm curious, what happens if you currently build a rocket silo on a space platform?

It'd probably also be a good idea to allow specifying the destinations at runtime in Lua.

No platforms orbiting overhead. Which... True?
I haven't tried launching a new platform from a platform. I wonder what would happen.

Sadly nothing happens:

You can open the gui to create a new platform, but the silo never launches.
