Starship SN11's Leg Skirt, the portion of the vehicle that sits below the thrust puck/aft bulkhead, and contains/shrouds the Raptor engines and legs, was spotted by Mary being moved into a production tent. High Bay roof work was in full swing with Bluezilla barely breaking a sweat and SN7.1 was prepared for its imminent doom.
