That is a Liebherr LR 11350 with a 1500 ton capacity.

Super Heavy is estimated to be about 300 tons dry.

Winds are too high today. Looks like wind speed will be low enough to stack early tomorrow morning.

That's one tall rocket.  I wonder when SpaceX will get their problems with the FAA squared away so they can launch that beast?

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.
