Four French Sculptors Head to Starbase to Build a 50-Foot Prometheus for Elon Musk

Missor Movahed, founder of French sculpture foundry Atelier Missor, brought his team to SpaceX's Starbase at the southern tip of Texas to build a 50-foot bronze statue of Prometheus — the Greek titan who stole fire from the gods — as a tribute to Musk and SpaceX's push for human progress.
He draws an analogy to the Statue of Liberty: "The French did the Statue of Liberty to celebrate the value of the West... we are doing the same thing on a smaller scale." At the site, the head and torso were assembled while the legs lay nearby and the torch-raising arms had yet to arrive.
