I was at Boca Chica beach (very southern tip of Texas) last week where Space X is building a launch site. This is on the launch site. Other parts under construction nearby. I am looking forward to their first launch. My vacation house is about 20 miles away--should be spectacular. Does anyone know what this is? Looks like a fuel tank.

TJ- is control of the craft automated thru the lift off process or is there a human involved in keeping it pointed up?

Its all computers and jazz, no humans involved. The optimal flight path is pre-computed. It depends on rocket mass, desired final orbit, atmospheric factors and about a hundred other things you'd never think of related to the rocket itself (aero aspects such as Max Q engine parameters etc.). The on-board autopilot follows the pre-computed path, typically with an open loop control architecture.

Definitely sounds like a job for a computer. It makes my head hurt just thinking of all the various forces in play and the margin or lack there of.
