“Dawn Launch to Mars”

The piece features Starship #24 on Booster #8 at the pad. The system which is set to go into orbit for the first time in 2023 and then onwards on to the Mars Mission in a few years! I’ve definitely been one of those individual’s getting excited about space travel again along with SpaceX’s successes the last few years. I drove 8 hours down from Dallas in November 2022 to SpaceX’s Starbase literally right on the Rio Grande in Boca Chica by Brownsville, Texas. I also goofed working on this months before the initial launch and only on watching the first launch did I realize I had painted “Mechzilla’s” platform arms as closed and while they needed to be in the open position. Whoops. So back to the easel for a couple hours to fix the “chopstick” arms so the scene would be more realistic.
