I made it to SPI today, set up camp at isla Blanca park, and am currently resting before driving out to the launchpad to (hopefully) video the ship rollout. That is if it is the ship moving tonight.

Super Heavy moved to the launch pad at Starbase. Booster 22 is the first Super Heavy V3 booster planned to return to the launch site for catch and was used for final catch testing upon arrival, including a suspended squeeze test at catch height

It’s gonna be so weird for me going back after 3 years to the month for flight 15. Since I went to see Flight 2, the tank farm was completely revamped, OLM 2 began and finished construction with 3 flights under its belt, megabay 2 finished construction, highbay was destroyed, gigabay started construction, Star Factory was completed, Highway 4 was re-paved, V1 retired, V2 entered service and retired, V3 entered service, hopper moved to Danger Lot, OML 1 retired for renovation, Massey’s entered service, and so much more. I can’t wait to see everyone down there and meet the RGV team in person for the first time. My next post will be tomorrow morning when I leave. Ad astra per aspera.
I’m leaving for Starbase early tomorrow morning, I expect to arrive in spi in the afternoon, and will spend the night there. Thursday morning (subject to change) I will be heading to Brownsville International Airport to join RGV Aerial Photography on the upcoming flyover. Expect many photos and videos throughout my journey. :D

SpaceX just resubmitted their first permit application for Starbase LA. There are now 5 marsh creation areas (previously 1). Also much more detail on the long term plans for the Gulf wharf...
Starbase Louisiana Permit Update: Day 45 👀 Movement tonight on SpaceX’s coastal use permit (P20260831)! At 8:09 PM, the state logged a new “Application Received” entry and a new revision of the application, a sign SpaceX may have resubmitted after the permit was returned on Oct. 1. The status still reads “Received – Incomplete” for now, and no new documents are posted yet. A reviewer comment was added, but it isn’t public yet. We’ll keep watching! 🚀

It's going to be a long coast. The ship needs to have some fun up there while it waits to be caught by the tower.

2033 Orion and Mengzhou depart Earth together, on a flyby trajectory towards the Moon. After years of needless fighting to claim land on the Moon, and with the removal of the Wolf act. Orion-Mengzhou is greenlit, and with it the unification of both the Chinese and American lunar settlements begins. Bringing a new era, in Human spaceflight.
