Tankzilla is on the move this morning and the SpaceX crew are busy working on Starship SN15. Hopefully, we will see SN15 roll to the pad this morning. 🤞🤩🚀

They should be playing "Up around the bend" whenever they move these.

Based on this pic from Mary and another posted on the NSF Forums, looks like SN15 has 829 ties installed on its belly! By far the most we've ever seen. SN11 only had 384, and SN10 had 246.
