    Didn't Grimes just leave Musk too? Because he is a spendthrift?

    This is one of the interior doors of the Mobile Launcher underneath 0 deck in the A-B levels where there are a ton of panels regulating different commodities.

    Check out how the electrical boxes are secured taking into account the vibrations that it would endure during launch.

    I really don't have a clue what engineering group made those designs and I can't speak to what will or won't work, I just thought it was odd thats why I took a pic.

    Keeping in mind the scrap value of all the metal used, ML1 will be cut up and scrapped after the 1st launch. I think that plays a factor more than anything else.

    Those are isolators, but their primary protection is against shock loads, versus vibration. Keep the equipment from tearing away when things go thump. Similar isolators are used on older Navy ships to protect from shocks from explosions (torpedos bombs, mines) nearby. Newer ships have more high tech shock isolators that also dampen vibration.

    Mobile Launcher 1, the tower structure as seen here will be cut up and scrapped after Artemis 1 launch. ML2 is currently being constructed.

    He's announced he's selling them all for a while now, guess they finally sold.

    Too busy with the sigma grindset. :p

    What are the other towers for(I’m assuming a fourth not in picture)?

    I think these would allow for a vastly greater range of movement than rubber isolators.

    Correct they are called lightning accumulators.
