A forward flap was moved, SN12's nosecone barrel section was moved into the windbreak, a large crane, probably for Super Heavy stacking was moved from the Fabrication Building to next to the High Bay and work on SN8 continued.

It's a little windy for a good polecam shot. I imagine the wind forecast is what slowed testing for a couple of days. I wouldn't be in one of those skinny, 100 foot high cherry pickers today.

Tankzilla crawled away from Starship SN8 ahead of the upcoming test series, while beams that looked like parts for a bridge crane are becoming a Roll Lift contraption.
