Watch SpaceX

The opening animation overlaps hypothetical journeys in a 3 minute 20 second loop. Pad B hosts two additional invented sorties; their timing, flight paths and returns are illustrations, not a forecast or real launch schedule. Space distances, satellite release and drift are schematic. Ship return and tower catch illustrate a possible experience, not an actual mission outcome.

Starbase roads and building footprints use an October 7, 2026 OpenStreetMap snapshot. Heights use plausible contributed values or illustrated defaults. Construction areas use flat footprint markers; their current completion is unverified. Tank types and footprints are mapped; oval bodies are illustrative and unsourced heights remain estimated. Tagged roof shapes use inferred ridge orientation; rounded-roof heights without recorded dimensions are estimated. The coast, hardware and transport route are simplified.

The position view checks SpaceX’s undocumented public tracker. Sample timestamps are interpreted as GPS seconds since January 6, 1980, with an 18-second UTC offset. Altitude and speed remain raw values because their units are unverified.

The feed may stop or change and does not cover every movement on the base. Failed updates retain a labeled last sample or saved snapshot. Predictions are not shown as observations, and position data does not drive the opening animation.

These samples may be old. They do not show all the action at the base. Check the observation time before treating a position as current.
