Two minutes. (Again, they have a long window, so we're talking window open for this at 2pm).

I don't think it'll be at the start of the window, the 1st stage tank was barely iced over just 20 minutes ago.

And something drove by behind it meanwhile. I think that was a camera block attempt to hide what was on the truck lol.
LEO is the ocean, not an island (let alone a continent). We create cruise liners to ride the oceans, not artificial islands in the middle of them. We need a physical place, which has physical resources, to make our future out there.

Smoke just came from the bottom? Was that it?
