     This time, there are no concrete chunks all around the pad and no visible damage.

     There were already workers on the tower, checking something on the ship's quick-disconnect arm.

     @penguin42 They got hit by a tornado of concrete chunks on the first test flight!

     It's a miracle the entire site didn't blew up on that day.

     @codewiz Did those tanks start out looking that crinkly?

     The birds of Boca Chica Beach seem undisturbed.

     Absence of visible evidence does not exclude damage to wildlife of any kind, but still a lot better than finding a beach covered in dead birds... right?

     @penguin42 On second thought, they weren't so beaten before. There seems to be some new damage.
