Part 2/13:
Two days before the launch, Starship 38 was moved out of Mega Bay 2 and rolled to its final position next to the launch mount. This marked the last time a Starship would be stacked in this configuration for a launch from Pad 1. On launch day, preparations followed the usual routine: road closures, equipment positioning, and clearance procedures. The launch tower's line conditioning vents activated on schedule, and propellant loading commenced, filling the vehicle with approximately 5,000 tons of liquid oxygen and methane.
