Good morning from the SpaceX Build Site. We’ve got an interesting development. Crews are constructing a massive iron platform. It’s the biggest I’ve seen out here. According to the driver this section weighs in at 49,000 pounds.

Mandatory paternity test at birth, prior to adding the father’s name to any birth certificate should be the norm at this point. The complete dismissal of this man’s pain by some is heartbreaking. It is also completely avoidable.

Good morning from the SpaceX Build Site. It’s cold, wet, and windy out here. Nonetheless, the lights are on, rockets are being built, and paneling has been added to the new container wall.

Tying into the container wall, the base is prepared for a new concrete slope. This will help to handle drainage.

We have our answer. The entire landing pad will be poured thicker. Just wow!

As SNX settles in next to SN9, progress continues with infrastructure. Concrete is placed near conduit as work on a serious rebar cage takes shape nearby. Crews are using a six person lift to place a single piece of rebar into the form work. This will be one strong foundation.

SN10 pokes its flaps outside of the High Bay. Just up the road, SN9 sits atop Pad B following a morning static fire. Work progresses on SN7.2 ahead of testing the new 3mm skin configuration.

SNX sits proud atop Pad A, having been unhooked from Tankzilla. Starhopper gets a little work done to it’s instrumentation. Tankzilla has been transferred to the modular transporters and will be returned to the build site.

Large sections of pipe have been staged near the new foundation. The diameter is the biggest I’ve seen out here.

A ring segment has been delivered to the launch site. It appears to be the same diameter as the rebar on the new foundation. I believe these will be tied into the top of the structure.

That’s a wrap for me today. Here’s 45 seconds of SN10 venting. Yes, it took all my self control to not squeal with joy like a child. I was right across the street. The audio does this no justice.

Going up. Vertical rebar is tied into the massive foundation being constructed next to the Orbital Launch Mount.

That’s it for me today. With the new layer going in on the landing pad it may be awhile before we see SN10 take flight. This timeline change makes me wonder if we’ll see SN11 out here beforehand. I can tell you seeing two Starships on the pad is an epic thing.

Just to the east of the new foundation, this curious work is taking shape. It’s difficult to tell due to construction items blocking the view, but the base is supported with metal crossbeams.

Well, that’s it for me today. I’ll leave you with this shot of SN10 and a thought. Everything you see being built here will need to be replicated in some capacity on Mars. Let that sink in.

Road closure of Hwy 4 scheduled today from 9am-6pm CST. I’ll be back at it again tomorrow. In the meantime, I can’t believe tomorrow will be two months since SN8’s historic flight. On the eve of that milestone, here’s some shots from my collection.

At the launch site, the third ring of rebar at the new foundation has taken a different shape. It’s much taller.

Currently, today’s road closure remains posted. We’re all hoping for a good day of testing for SN10, and maybe a flight this week. In the meantime, here’s a few favorites of mine. I swear one day Hoppy will just start walking around the place like a giant astromech.

The landing pad is receiving a lot of attention today. It appears they’re extending the concrete work and finishing the grounds around it. Forms and rebar have been brought in.

Crews lower a beam into its structural pockets which are cast into the concrete walls. These sections will go in quickly.

The reported section has been lowered to the ground. The wind is definitely a factor for heavy lifts today.
