We tried to rent a 50-ton crane to lift the statue. The company refused. They said it was too risky because the statue was too heavy for the crane. So we lifted it with our 16-ton crane.

The statue of Prometheus is finally finished.
It was cast in Paris, crossed the Atlantic, and was assembled at Starbase. It took us 100 days to go from nothing to this.
People of the West, we have lived through an era devoid of dreams, devoid of destiny.
But the time has come to reclaim our dream of antiquity.
In a few months, we will start building a new city. It will be the most magnificent city in all of history.
After all, the great dream of the West has always been to rebuild Rome.
Come walk beside us in this endeavor. The world is waiting.

Just outside Starbase, a 50-foot bronze Prometheus is going up!
Not a SpaceX commission. Not paid for by Elon Musk.
French foundry Atelier Missor cast it in sections near Paris, shipped it across the Atlantic, and is assembling it on private land near the entrance for about a million dollars of their own money.
In the myth, Prometheus stole fire from the gods and gave it to humanity. Here he holds that torch toward the same sky Starship is built to punch through.
The legs are engineered for a Gulf hurricane: stainless tubes, 14 inches across, half-inch walls.
Ancient titan. Modern launch site. Same idea … don’t accept the ceiling.

In the video, they just forgot about gigantic Greek temples and immense statues, but we’ll take care of that.
