Mechazilla’s Chopsticks Stand On Their Own | SpaceX Boca Chica
Mechazilla’s Chopstick arms were disconnected from the LR 11350 Crane, the new Wide Bay’s structure begins to grow vertically, plumbing was connected to the two recently delivered large liquid methane tanks, and three Raptor engines were loaded onto a truck, presumably headed back to SpaceX’s McGregor, TX test facility.
