Tigers! Tigers! Tigers! That's ma girl! Karolina Kachirkova with a brace today on derby day where Leicester Tigers lost out 36 - 50 to Loughborough Lightning! She's the 2nd of my ex-team mates to play rugby for a Premiership team! So proud of Kaz though! @TigersWomens

Booster 20's first Cryo test at Massey's happened last night. The depress looked fun...almost like I skipped a re-fill...but I didn't! Full test, right up until the rain/storm moved in and obscured the view. @LabPadre

Booster 20's initial round of testing last night at Massey's. The tank farm became active and Booster vented from just below the hot stage crown, indicating a pressure proof test. No frost became visible, so maybe a cryoproof test will follow today/tonight... @LabPadre

Booster 21's LOX tank has been revealed in the doorway of MB-1. Presumably, it is sat over the LOX landing tank install stand and is awaiting the arrival of the aft section. @LabPadre

RAPTORS ON THE LOOSE! A little harder to spot than yesterday's deliveries, but MB-2 got 1x SL and 2x RVac engines for Ship 40 this afternoon...completing the set of 6. @LabPadre

Booster 20 has exited MB-1 and moved around to the side of MB-2, where it is staged ahead of a move tonight. As soon as it was out of the bay, the LOX landing tank for B21 was spotted, but didn't go in the bay. Yet. @LabPadre

RAPTORS! 3 engines, two sea level and one vacuum, have been brought around and moved into MB-2 for install on Ship 40. Seen here as 2 low, red blobs moving left to right just behind that black fence, the 2 SLs were followed by the taller RVac. @LabPadre

At the production site, MB-1's door has opened to reveal Booster 20 in the doorway, on the thrust sim stand. Looks like the bridge crane is still attached, but roll-out to Massey's isn't scheduled until 23:59 (currently). @LabPadre

The 17 ball mounts, removed from LM-2, have all now been lifted back to their positions for re-installation. Lifted along with them were the associated...um...I call them "nut sacks", as they likely contain the nuts n bolts needed for fitment. @LabPadre

Meanwhile...the Road Delay has been delayed. No longer a daytime rollout of Booster to Massey's. *Sad face*.
