Battle of the Builds #12#
Blue Origin has started going vertical again at LC-36. The modified launch tower stacking has begun in hopes of launching by end of year.
Relativity has almost completed stacking the second lightning tower. They also finished painting the water tower white.
Blue Origin continues progress on the Vertical Integration Facility. The PPF construction may be visible soon but possibly not from this location. I'll keep an eye on that.
Honorable mention for Starship 37A since they were the first to achieve stacking goals.

Marmac 31, aka You'll Thank Me Later, has departed Port Canaveral on the heels of Starship Flight 14. It is quite possible that the next return to port has the first Cape booster onboard.
Meanwhile, Blue Origin is going vertical again with the modified tower at their pad.

Are you planning to watch Falcon Heavy launch the Nancy Grace Roman telescope tomorrow morning?
A. @NASASpaceflight has a video to help you pick your viewing location.
B. Playalinda Beach will NOT be open and a roadblock will be in place at the east end of Max Brewer.
C. Plan in time for NASA road blocks at the NASA Causeway and Hwy 3 if you have a ticket for the Visitors Center or media pass. They will divert other traffic.
D. Tune into the NSF livestream to learn more about the mission and stay updated!

While we were in the air yesterday the Endurance container was spotted. Is it testing time @davill ? What kinds of testing can be done out there?

(Plus additional on the road views)
The latest contender in the vertical build category is Relativity at LC-16. The Manitowoc crane is vertical and so is a section of lightning tower!
The Blue Origin Vertical Refurbishment Facility (VRF) has gained both bulk and height.
The journey continues at Blue Origin LC-36 with multiple cranes still vertical. Work on the water tower has some equipment doing acrobatic maneuvers.
Honorable mention goes to SpaceX at 37A where the focus is now mainly at ground level. At least for now.
