    If they could switch launches to Slick 40 so they could complete the KSC OLM and deluge, it might happen. It wouldn't be a KSC manufactured Starship, but it's doable.
    I know they haven't finished pouring the concrete for MB2 at Starbase, but it certainly didn't take 8-9 months to build, did it?

    Foundations were poured before the April launch and it’s still not finished is it? How much longer until they roll in rings for assembly? They could roll in completed boosters for engine install sooner but KSC needs the full package. I agree they could launch in Florida before they could start to finish there.

    From 40? I’m guessing a Mercury launch :notsure:
    Or if it’s any pad, the current SpX Crew 7?

    Crews have been 39A only, which is KSC side. 40 is on the other side. Last manned mission from Cape side was Apollo 7 in 1968 from LC-34. Apollo 8 went from 39A....

    My thought too but later there are some noises that coincide with what look to be ablative flares, like sparks from a burning log.

    Look at the positioning of the thrusters relative to the windows, that should give you the answer.

    If it’s a Spacex engine then it would have to be a Merlin, wouldn’t it?
