great job Jack! I can tell and greatly appreciate your efforts to not "yell" during the update.

Remember the days when we were waiting to see a starship fly? Seems like a million years ago, but also Seems like yesterday. So cool to it all come together like this.

I really enjoy that the raptor carts are 'Mario' carts....good to know that SpaceX still has that sense of humor going on
