I think once it’s done it will be structural. But it needs a lot more reinforcement.

So B9 is at the OLM ready to be lifted. Wonder if they’ll do so today or just let it stand there.

6:10pm- Lift up looking at the cameras at the end of the stabilizer arms

7:19pm- Second crane comes in and lifts what looks to be a new dog house and sits it off to the side. Looks longer like the one for the cryo leg.

Booster 9 has been moved to the rocket garden.

https://twitter.com/nasaspaceflight/status/1681282819014705152

I wonder what that means for the next launch. Booster readiness seems like one of the top remaining items now, with the booster needing the hot stage ring for the ship to fit now. Will they do fit tests / static fires first? Or maybe prepare a different booster with the extra ring?

One other approach could be that the extra ring “clips on” the existing staging hardware. Would mean that no changes to the booster are necessary, and if they later decide not to risk hot staging they could possibly do a traditional staging approach, leaving the ring attached to the ship instead? Sounds pretty crazy but you never know.

Wel heel vervelend voor mensen die zo’n fiets hebben.

Heb zelf een RadPower fiets en die gaan ook weg uit Europa. Maar die fiets heeft ook nog eens banden die nergens anders te krijgen zijn..

En ondertussen is dat bedrijf nog aan het stunten met aanbiedingen.

And indeed already out of date, since the deluge system has undergone its first tests already!

https://twitter.com/nasaspaceflight/status/1681007026556502016?s=46&t=Mj914Aam14loAYQOISZ9zQ

Wow! Didn’t expect them to test so soon!

Wonder what the next steps are, for some reason I expected this to be more violent.

10:20am- Grover is leaving the launch site

10:37am- Basket goes into the middle of the OLM

10:47am- Pump truck folds up

10:58am- Lifts back up at the methane tank on S25 (I wonder what they are doing in there)

11:11am- An overflowing basket is removed

11:14am- Rebar brought in by a forklift on the left side of the OLM

11:32am- Crane leaves again

11:33am- Pick up backs in and removed the trailer holding the plastic tank

11:55am- WATER!!!! (Low pressure test of the deluge)

4:19pm- Forklift brings in another piece of metal to the left side of the OLM

4:27pm- Using a good old shop vac to clean up some of the water under the area where the forklift is waiting to put down the new piece of metal. Which begs the question, Was the missing top strip of that manifold not completely welded shut and that’s why it threw water so much further than the other parts of the plate? Or was that because it has its own dedicated water supply line and the other 2 share?

5:36pm- Forklift takes another piece of metal under the right side of the OLM

6:48pm- Forklift brings another piece of metal to under the left side of OLM

8:50am- Crane lifts a bunch of boards out from beside the OLM

9:15am- Basket goes up. Center

9:33am- Crane lifts something with a lot of cables hanging off of it

5:25pm- Lots of people working on top of the OLM but the cranes and lifts have been silent today

6:00pm- Intermittent closure starts. NSF in SBL chat says that Jack is reporting sheriffs at the launch site. So maybe more testing instead of something moving?

6:20pm- Pope stack is venting (Going back and looking, I’m pretty sure it was just the pope stack and not the OLM like people were saying)

7:00pm- Seems like a full test/purge of the cryo lines

7:08pm- Can’t tell if that’s the new purge line or if there is just a massive leak

7:20pm- Launch site cloaking device engaged

7:29:10- People were reporting a bang. I can hear a slight pop but NSF’s mic is so far away that I don’t know if I’d put much faith in it being anything.

7:30pm- Venting seems to be letting up some

7:34pm- Pope stack is going again

8:00pm- Still venting. Seems to die off some and then pick back up

8:30:42- Sounds like a cell phone ringing. So I think you have to discount all of the bangs and pops

9:28:53- Drone comes out of lox cloud

10:36pm- Really starting to die off. Tank finally getting empty?

10:53pm- Down to a trickle at the beach but still a significant cloud by the actual tanks

11:16pm- Vent still going but small enough for people to return to the pad and people to leave the beach

Rover 2-

20:43:40- Something is definitely wrong. 4 person red team shows up in 2 carts and makes their plans on how they are going to punch thru and get to the big lox tank and spin the shutoff valve. Stick together and get out if the monitor goes off. The banging and popping sounds like a warning klaxon on here.

21:08- One guy walks out and a pick up shows up

21:10- Pick up leaves the pad

21:12- 2 more guys walk out on their cell phones

21:32- 47 minutes later, I’m going to guess they couldn’t get the valve to shut.

21:51- Lots of honking. It seems people are trapped on the beach.

21:54- Lab switches R2’s feed to R3 and we lose the microphone

Starbase live-

1:54am- LR11000 disconnected from the y pipe

2:51am- Little crane lifts what appears to be a stand out of the pit

2:57am- What looks like a short piece of pipe is lifted into the pit

3:51am- Stand lowered into the pit

4:00am- LR11000 swings over and lowers it’s hook into the pit

4:39am- Grover lifts more rebar over for the cryo pit lid

4:50am- Another load of rebar is moved over

4:58am- 3rd load of rebar moved. That’s going to be one beefy lid

9:42am- Grover lifts what may be one of the extra deluge plate extensions over to the gap by the new stairs

9:59am- Swung back over to the side and sat down

10:07am- Grover lowers

11:14am- Concrete being cut

11:15am- Grover shows off and swings the extension plate back over to the OLM while lowered.

11:38am- Plate lowered. Lines go slack.

11:40am- Raised back up

11:47am- Lowered back down

11:57am- Picked back up and swung off to the side again

12:53pm- Generator removed from the pit

1:24pm- Basket goes up

1:31pm- LR11000 unhooks from whatever it was attached to (Most likely the Y pipe)

1:33pm- Basket goes down

2:07pm- Grover starts to remove it’s counter weights to move (Maybe to Masseys to lift B10?)

2:13pm- Grover removes more weights

2:18pm- More weights moved over to an SPMT

2:23pm- There goes another

2:24pm- LR11000 takes tension on its lifting straps

2:38pm- LR11000 lifts another deluge pipe. Grover removed 4 more weights

2:48pm- Pipe starts lowering

2:58pm- Pipe is sat on the ground and the LR11000 is unhooked

2:59pm- Small crane hooks to the pipe

3:05pm- Pipe is swung over towards the left most manifold. So looks like it’s the left side of the Y. If the piece lifted early this morning was the right side, this should be the last piece to go around the OLM. Now we need the 2 feed pipes from the concrete bunker over.

3:05pm- At the same time, Grover lowers.

3:38pm- Grover drives away

4:43pm- The LR11000 drives away from the OLM

5:35pm- Small crane moves into the area that the LR11000 was sitting

8:04pm- Extension piece (?) lifted back over towards the OLM.

11:00pm- Pretty quiet evening from what we can see. I’m sure the welders are hard at work. I’ll be watching for more rebar to go in the pit to signify that they are done and the pipes are ready to be buried.
