A little old but puts things in perspective

A biggie - but old - I think that is SN6 before the 150m hop:



So, the rockets are stacked in the high bays, which are the tallish dark buildings at the complex at the top of the picture. The dead-end road goes past the shipyard, the launch sites and down to the beach - which is next to the outflow of the Rio Grande - pretty much on the Mexican border at coastal South West Texas. (Doesn't explain why there is so much traffic sometimes though!)

Here is a reverse view showing SN9 and SN10 on their launch stands, Hoppy in the background, and SN7.2 (A pressure test mockup using 3mmSS) ready to be tested to rupture. The landing pad is at the top right, and beyond that, but not shown, is the stand for the Booster stage for orbital flight. Much debate as to how this will end up - currently, thoughts are that they won't use water deluge as sound suppression, and just have it off the ground. Not sure how that works for reflected forces. Also, rather than landing the booster on the concrete pad on it's little feet, Elon wants to catch it with closing arms wrapping around the rocket and holding it up under the grid fins - easier to be a little bit off in the initial stages as the system learns to do it cleanly.

The biggest complaints people make when watching the launch/build videos are that the cameras are shaking. That is because they are literally kilometers away zoomed in, so any small movement on the mast results in shimmering and shaking in the image - and wind is not friendly there! As an artifact of the zoom, they can look very close, when in fact each launch vehicle type is probably >50m apart.

Webcams of interest - usually varied unless fog:
Live Nerdle Cam(1) - usually pointing at launch stand from across the water Link: https://youtu.be/Ky5l9ZxsG9M​
Live Lab Cam(2) - Link: https://youtu.be/hpqoqJxbNpw
Live Sapphire Cam(3) - I think from a local hotel - Link: https://youtu.be/dROdPn9Tpxg​
Live Predator Cam(4) - IR for watching when LOX and liquid methane are being loaded - Link: https://youtu.be/lTJ9OgcIMSs​
Live Sentinel Cam(5) - Usually points down to road to the shipyard with telemetry comms dishes (They normally point up unless there is a need to talk to a Starship!) and roadblock patrols - Link: https://youtu.be/n5ozYnVQahE​
Live Launch Pad Cam(6) - Self explanatory - points at the launch pads from a more SE position than Nerdle - Link: https://youtu.be/Z72Au8Px7mM
Live SPI Pearl Beach Cam - Beach conditions - Link https://youtu.be/agmFDeP5u_w

You should really have your own thread for this StN, it's too good to be buried in one of the generic threads.

Here's a really big overlay render of current Boca Chica Starbase ops, with proposed expansion to include two Heavy Lift booster towers and landing areas. And a staff carpark. Big wide road access for tracked vehicle delivery from the shipyard. Extra tank farms and production facilities for onsite fuel generation.

And this is just for when the converted oil rigs aren't ready.

Nice! Funny you posted~ I was telling my girlfriend in the weekend about this guy on the forums called Nemesis who was a fucken demon back in the day when he trained and I was curious to see how he was / if he is still training. I was telling her how I wanted to make a random thoughts thread post to [LvN]N3misiS asking him if he still trains and to hit the forum up with some knowledge(post a pic, tell a story, etc.

So that's cool, shot! I should also mention that the reason you came up was because my girl likes to ask me what I dreamed about (I Lucid dream a lot) and it was around training with [LvN]N3misiS LOL That's right, bro.. I randomly dream about a fellow nzger a decade or more since I even saw a post from him.

Real shit.

lol, random. I'm still training but switched it completely and ditched weights about 5 years ago. Been riding ultra distance events since 2012. Did a super 600 just before new years (600km with >10,000m elevation gain).

It does a completely redundant 1d8 bludgeoning damage, casts Death on hit.
