twitter an earlier shot from boca chicago and nasa space flight shows that this would have them hooking in right here by the looks of these arms these will extend and contract to tighten the grip before the vehicles are placed down lab padre this week picked up some new lighting effects on the pad as well a little bling kicking off there just imagine how epic the entire tower may end up if they keep following this trend hope it remains intact after launch of course it's going to be pretty toasty right around there i think it's also worth showing this shot here from anna which has the community talking quite a bit about the water value system if you look here as noted by zak you can peer in between each of the clamps to find these rectangular boxes with four holes in them now speculation currently in mind predicts that these could be attachment points for various spray heads which would eject water into the booster exhaust so i'm very interested in anyone's thoughts there after completing a few unknown tests last week the b NUMBER_TOKEN test tank was rolled out of the launch site making its way down highway NUMBER_TOKEN and to the display area where snNUMBER_TOKEN and snNUMBER_TOKEN are currently residing interestingly booster NUMBER_TOKEN also left the high bay at NUMBER_TOKENam on wednesday and was also rolled over to the display site as well the reason for this is all speculative right now it could be that this is just a temporary location to free up some space in the high bay or it could be that booster NUMBER_TOKEN is already obsolete and being replaced by a future booster i'm sure we'll know more soon enough here at the production site ship NUMBER_TOKEN's forward section was lifted into the mid bay and stacked on top of the common dome now also interesting this week a booster forward dome section was attached to the booster NUMBER_TOKEN common dome possibly completing yet another test tank similar to that b NUMBER_TOKEN now although we haven't heard anything official about these test tanks due to them having the intricate rams for the outer wrap to boost engines we can assume that they are doing quite extensive testing to ensure that the incredible thrust won't cause issues with the structure itself we also don't know if these tests have passed or failed at this point perhaps they need further improvements which may explain the new test tank being made here what do you think let me know your thoughts in the comments elon musk spoke at the wall street journal ceo council this week firstly stating that the starship is a hard project i think he was trying to maybe emphasize the hard here as it is such a profound revolution given that there has never been a fully reusable launch vehicle before he once again stated that this is the holy grail of space technology and also added that starship absorbs more of his mental energy than probably any other single thing it is just so preposterously difficult that there are times when even he wonders whether they can actually achieve this or not i think this is important for everyone out there that believes starship is a sure thing keep these words in mind i cheer this on every week but also understand just how incredible it's going to be if this is achieved in order to succeed let's at least hope that spacex are given all the opportunity needed to try he also stated here that in order to make a rocket fully reusable you've got to basically create a rocket that can do about four percent if not more than four percent of its
