Wow!! Break over!!
We have completed breakover operations for the Neutron Stage 2 tank assembly, rotating the stage horizontal – a critical step in the handling of large rocket sections for integration and assembly. Here’s a last look at Stage 2 on the Neutron Factory floor before it’s wrapped up (literally) for barge shipment to LC-3 on Wallops Island where its fluid systems will be tested and its Archimedes vacuum engine installed.

Raptor!! But where did it go?
Raptors on the loose at Production. Heading most likely from Starfactory...but probably going to the Raptor's Nest behind MB-1...or did they go in to the bay? Darn fencing makes it harder to judge! @LabPadre

The production site as of yesterday. Work on dismantling one of the four Gigabay tower cranes is basically complete; next please!

Get to work, Larry! 🀣
With the wind having eased...at least a little...Littler Larry is back up and ready to resume work, though Maarvin is still anchored to something heavy just the other side of the tower. @LabPadre

On the left land can be seen being cleared for the second Massey's Test Site and on the right is the start of SpaceX's own Heavy Haul Road for rolling out vehicles for testing πŸ”₯ πŸ“Έ: COPERNICUS

It appears SpaceX are adapting the pre-assembly skids to the GSE bunker for Pad 1 reconstruction. Most of the pump farm was pre-built on large frames; these allow whole sections to be finished quicker in more quality-controlled areas for cleaner work and less contamination from dust, sand, and dirt. For Pad 2, all this equipment was brought in and installed separately. Pad 1 appears to be slightly different; as we can see in Sanchez, the large LOX and CH4 valve skids (Orange Arrows) are being pre-installed onto two large frames (Green Arrows) This, plus the associated valve equipment on the ground floor likely means they can now be installed as complete units driven in on SPMT's (Yellow Arrows).

Replying to @AschbacherJosef
Thank you, Josef. We value the growing relationship between @esa and @vast. Finding a path to continue the transatlantic partnership into the post-ISS commercial space station era is a top priority for Vast.

Thanks for the SpaceX swag!
Mega thanks to Mauricio, these were some experimental tiles so it's awesome for our heat shield team to get them back for study
