Out in the ring yard we have S28 payload section, S26 mid lox, and S25 fwd. Elsewhere, parts of S27 and even S29 have also been spotted. That's a lot of ship parts.#Starbase #Starship #SpaceX 📸 Me for WAI Media @FelixSchlang
Booster 7 and Ship 24 both conducted two spin prime tests, Ship 25 was wielded in the High Bay, and the Chopsticks were raised.

Ship 25 nose cone is hooked up and getting some tile work done before stacking!
Actually after stacking, it was stacked this morning
The Chopsticks have been fixed and are getting hardware to support catching Boosters and Ships.

Ship 25 (nose cone + payload bay) has been spun! Could this be to load starlinks on the ground instead of having to lift the loader up like they did 24?
