This is a pretty accurate look at the early days of SpaceX with employee #1 Tom Mueller. He was the principal engineer of the Merlin engine and also a key propulsion team member of the Raptor. It may be AI Bot generated drawing from the recent book about Mueller but at least got the story right.

Watch live coverage from Cape Canaveral as SpaceX launches a Falcon 9 rocket with 29 satellites for the company's Starlink internet service. Liftoff from Space Launch Complex 40 is scheduled at 7:12 p.m. EST (0012 UTC) on Tuesday, Nov. 18. The first-stage booster for this mission, B1085, making its 12th flight will land on SpaceX's drone ship 'A Shortfall of Gravitas', stationed in the Atlantic Ocean, a little more than eight minutes after leaving the launch pad.

The mission, designated Starlink 6-94, will take a south-easterly trajectory on departure from Florida's Space Coast.

Our live coverage with commentary will start about one hour prior to launch.

T minus 48 minutes.......
