It takes a fleet to dock a booster 😉#Block5 #SpaceX
The crane team has the cap ready to place on the first stage booster. Not sure if they will attempt to lift it off today or if they are giving extra security before more weather events roll in. #Block5 #Falcon9
The clock starts ticking. I'm curious how many hours it will take block 5 from now on till stage being horizontal on transporter.
Looks like a new lift cap being used to lift the Block 5. Has cameras all around the top of it and lights etc. Much faster process too. @murphypak - photographers are there, so we'll RT quality pics later.

Looks a bit misaligned #falcon9 #spacex #Bangabandhu1
#spacex #falcon9 #bangabandhu1 Welcome home!
Apparently there is a new lift cap for the Block 5 boosters! When I was at the port last week I believe I got some photos of it.
#Falcon9 Block 5 returns safely to port aboard #OCISLY after dodging several nearby thunderstorms on this gloomy morning. Here's two edited photos including a slow shutter pan and dolphin passerby. #Bangabandhu1
The deck is clear of crew. Wondering what will happen next....Tune in next time...Nah, we'll wait and see.#Block5 #Falcon9

Booster has been lifted and moved to the pedestal for leg work. Let’s see how this is done. Over on the side is a fairing aboard Go Pursuit covered up with a brown tarp. @Teslarati #spacex #falcon9 #portcanaveral #ocisly
Notable vehicles: The SpaceX mystery machine. A mobile command center aka office in a trailer. And the booster transporter. Octagrabber has been put away, out of sight, appears to have worked perfectly. @Teslarati #spacex #falcon9 #ocisly
