SN11 moved to the door of the high bay. Ready to roll tomorrow morning.

I had them move SN11 so I could get a better view.

SN11 is out of the highbay.

She's moving.

SN11 is moving! Per Lab Padre Sentinel.

Edit: Looks like a nice big patch of TPS tiles there, assuming that that's not a weird reflection.

Stopped by a lowly cherry picker.

The Sarens is still sitting by the crane shed on LBJ.
It doesn't even have all the ballast weights stacked yet.

*Turns out the Sarens is a major PITA and they only needed it for Starships when the road was in bad shape. Also practice for the booster*

SpaceX is rolling out the Starship SN11 prototype to the launch site in Boca Chica, Texas. Following rollout, SN11 is expected to be lifted onto Suborbital Pad A by a large crane.
