Progress continues at LC-36. Starting to move GS2s from the Integration Facility to Rocket Park as we clean up and rebuild the pad. A couple more GS2s and Never Tell Me The Odds to follow. Great work, Team Blue.

One week later, incredible progress. It’s a 24/7 operation with a solid path forward to launch this year, helped by a lot of luck. @NASA and @USSpaceForce have both been extremely helpful. This team. Never tell them the odds.

We have regained some access to Launch Complex 36 and are actively investigating the hotfire anomaly. We will start clearing the pad soon and have a good rebuild plan in place. The booster and GS2’s in the integration facility appear healthy from quick looks.
