BCG's Sunday morning photos show a bunch of guys in hardhats and orange and yellow vests clustered about one of the Hopper's two umbilical disconnect structures.

Still no NOTAM's/TFR's posted, despite a road closure on tap for tomorrow. So my guess is that tomorrow might just be fuel transfer and pressurization tests (in hopes of ensuring that there are no more giant fireballs).
I'm hoping that the thing will finally fly on Wednesday.
Mary/BCG says that she just can't get enough of the Boca Chica Starship prototype's fuel tank bulkhead!

The way to a woman's heart... Who knew??
Edit: Looking at Mary's video of them moving the bulkhead, I'm starting to see what she sees in it. It's a giant stainless steel optical illusion! As you look at it, it switches back and forth between appearing convex and concave. One moment it's bulging out, the next moment it's cupped in. Is the top moving closer to the camera or the bottom? Kind of mind-boggling.
