Battle of the Builds #12
Blue Origin has started going vertical again at LC-36. The modified launch tower stacking has begun in hopes of launching by end of year.
Relativity has almost completed stacking the second lightning tower. They also finished painting the water tower white.
Blue Origin continues progress on the Vertical Integration Facility. The PPF construction may be visible soon but possibly not from this location. I'll keep an eye on that.
Honorable mention for Starship 37A since they were the first to achieve stacking goals.

Battle of the Builds #11
Since we were recently in the air I waited a little longer and, wow, the skyline changed even more!
First up is Relativity Space at LC-16. The first lightning tower is almost to max height. I imagine there will be a topper added to the full system.
The Blue Origin Vertical Integration Facility (RIP VRF naming) has filled out another level. It's getting massive!
Soon we may be able to see the PPF building too.
Progress continues at LC-36 where, hopefully, we will see vertical gains again with modular pieces of the tower being readied.
The tower still looms over 37A groundwork. The LR13000 has moved position. Unclear if it is being used for additional tasks or just in place to weather storms.

Starship Booster 21 may have intentionally targeted a splashdown in the Gulf, but SpaceX used the opportunity to run a partial simulated "catch" test, as the pad deluge system was activated in sync of when the booster completed the landing burn. While the chopsticks did not move this time, this should give valuable data ahead of the first Pad 2 catch on a upcoming flight.

SpaceX is showing no signs of slowing down, and is busy preparing for Flight 15, less then a day after Flight 14 concluded. With teams lifting the new work stand into the OLM, this new stand will allow teams quick and safe access to all parts of the mount without the need for scaffolding.

Starbase GigaBay Month Eleven
This month saw the GigaBay roof work progress as large parts of the covering can visually be seen, along with progress on the external cladding as the external work gets ever closer to the end, as we near the project celebrating a year.
Over the coming months as the external work comes to an end, you can follow the progress on @NASASpaceflight 's Starbase Live nsf.live/starbase

I know no one might care about this, but if Starship goes orbital on Monday it'll be 18 years after Falcon 1 first reached orbit. It was SpaceX's 4th launch overall. nextspaceflight.com/launches…

Booster 21 & Ship 41's full testing day at Pad 2, from when the chopsticks moved to launch position, through tanking, deluge, WDR test, detanking, and the chopsticks returning to hugging Ship 41 as they wait for the regulatory approval for flight.

What is better than one Raptor Engine test? TWO!
Over on @NASASpaceflight McGregor Live, our team spotted SpaceX running two Raptor Engine tests at the same time with one lasting ~104 seconds, and the second continuing for ~343 seconds

The moment the biggest rocket ever built quits being just another test and starts rewriting the future.
History won’t wait.
Neither will Starbase.
