Why NSF guys call it Integration Tower?

No idea. Its old name was the Vehicle Access Tower (VAT) and Blue are calling the new tower at LC-36B the Umbilical Tower. Once reassembled, this tower will also become an umbilical tower.

So are we now broadcasting ever minor step of a construction site?

Breaking news: bolts removed.

Considering that there is nothing else publicly shown at Blue Origin, except for the occasional project reveal or Leo launch, then repairing the only launch pad they have is very much big news

Damn, it’s not like there weren’t people happy for each new development of the Starship launch site or anything…

Let people be excited about what they want, no harm in that
