It looks like the section with all the heat tiles that came out of tent 3 will be a base for the next nose.
The next SN or gse tank or whatever it is has started rising in Midbay.

Road opened. The nose lives another day.

Spotted a new Raptor engine getting delivered ahead of SN15's flight today with @austinbarnard45 . Did not catch a number, but it is marked "INSERT MEME HERE". The guy running this joke must be short on ideas today 😅

Looks like high bay crane is attached to SN16's nosecone, ready to stack.

Meanwhile, Starship SN16 is taking shape in the High Bay. The nosecone is attached to the new Bridge Crane.

Starship Production Cadence is forever impressive.
