It’s 29 of them. That’s some serious pipe connections and system links in there. (Did update your post with a larger version of the pic.)

Also, here’s a view of Super Heavy from the top… check out the high-tech scaffolding support about midway down :smiley:

The launch at least should be watchable live on the YouTube channel on the 15th - hopefully at a time that makes sense to us here.

Meanwhile, Inspiration4 launch is happening tomorrow(at a kak time for us I might add):
Details here

And the Netflix documentary into it is pretty interesting for those keen on the backgrounds of the individuals.

Launch highlights:

Full Netflix launch buildup, live launch, and post launch show:

Couple of channels still following the flight “live” but they’re really just rebroadcasts of the launch and trackers showing the ships position. No real live camera feeds that I can find.

Probably saving all the footage for the Netflix finale.
But the SpaceX hosts mentioned that they might have a check in call with them. So hoping to at least get that.
