SpaceX teams are performing the first rollout of a Super Heavy booster in Starbase, Texas. The prototype vehicle, Booster 3, will go to Test Stand A for testing. Booster 4 is currently slated to be the booster that launches the orbital launch attempt.

Nice. Almost looks like a CGI shot from a scifi movie.

Interesting that both Branson and Bezos are going up this month, but Musk is staying on the ground. This is where we see if Musk is actually a Bond villain or not, consolidating his power.

I have a rule: Never be the launch customer. That rule is very important in rocketry.

One way or another Branson is coming back down.

He just turned 50 and he has stated in the past that he intends to die on Mars, just hopefully not on impact.

It would not surprise me if he has been grooming a replacement for a few years and he's on either the first or second manned crews to work on the Mars propellant plant.

Is Musk making a profit with payloads? I know a guy here in STL (I think he would be a good fit here...) who is going "satellite payload" rocket stuff... He is "interesting."

Could be why there are rumors of SpaceX possibly moving super heavy operations to the Cape or using the Cape as a backup.

Based on the environmental review, the FAA could order SpaceX to take down the tower. "It is possible that changes would have to be made at the launch site, including to the integration towers to mitigate significant impacts," the May 6 letter said, adding the FAA learned of the tower's construction "based on publicly available video footage."
