Charter fast boat Expedition is busy working in the downrange hazard area ahead of Starship Flight 5. Based on tracking positions it seems to be busy moving fishing boats out of the range.

Starship 30 and Booster 12 - the flight 5 stack - yesterday evening. Feels like I just shot these and yet we're now under an hour and fifteen minutes until the opening of the window! @NASASpaceflight

Some comparisons

[FutureSpaceTourist]

Good sign, OLM vent has started

[FutureSpaceTourist]

Based on vent timing SpaceX may have slipped T-0 a little. Remember it’s a 30 minute launch window today

[FutureSpaceTourist]

Another good sign, roadblock is moving back

[FutureSpaceTourist]

NSF remote cam sites (possible due to everyone’s support, thank you!)

[FutureSpaceTourist]

More venting
