Close-up images from LC-36 shared with the Financial Times give a good view of some of the damage. The HIF doors took quite a beating, and the interstage can be seen among remains in the flame bucket. The damage to the lightning tower doesn't look too bad. https://t.co/iKvz3r43bY

My Battle of the Bays series is nearing completion. Introducing Battle of the Builds for your consideration.
The LR13000 has gone vertical at LC-37 so we may soon see Cape's 2nd Starship tower rise. Cranes are staged at the Blue Origin Vertical Refurbishment Facility (VRF) signaling that the foundation work may be ready for columns and walls. Heavy equipment staging has begun for the LC-36 pad clean-up and assessment of steps going forward following the static fire event.

Some LC-36 updates. Now that we’ve had access to the pad and integration facility we can share a bit of good news. The propellant farm, oxygen, liquid hydrogen and LNG tanks are all in good shape. This is good luck because these are very long lead items. The water tower is also good. The big support tower is damaged, but it can be repaired in place rather than torn down and replaced. The booster “Never Tell Me The Odds” and the three GS-2s that were onsite in the integration facility also look good.
I’ve seen some speculation that we might move directly to the 9x4 configuration, but we won’t do that. Rate manufacturing of 7x2 is going well, and we’re going to continue that at pace as planned and store the stages for use. In addition, we had already been working for some time on eliminating our transporter-erector in favor of an alternative vertical conop, and we’ll now go directly to that; so we don’t need a new transporter-erector.
We will fly again before the end of this year. Gradatim Ferociter.
Debris from our recent hotfire anomaly may wash ashore in the coming days/weeks. If you encounter any debris, do not touch or approach it for your safety.

All personnel are accounted for and safe. It’s too early to know the root cause but we’re already working to find it. Very rough day, but we’ll rebuild whatever needs rebuilding and get back to flying. It’s worth it.
