This is why they need that bridge crane. Temporary solution... chop a hole in the top of the high bay for the crane. A very SpaceX'ish fix to the problem. 😉

Looks like SN11 had a good static fire today so unless there's something we're not aware of yet SN11 could be flying within the next few of days, tomorrow even.

SpaceX will be landing Starships on Mars well before 2030. The really hard threshold is making Mars Base Alpha self-sustaining.

Status on LabPadre shows "no launch today" but there is tank farm activity, not sure why. Maybe another static fire?

Tank farm activity already 

It appears they're going for both a static fire and flight the same day
