This week, teams at Starbase were seen cutting, welding and replacing components on Mechazilla's arms in preparation for the anticipated Flight 5 catch attempt. Crews were also hard at work in Mega Bays 1 and 2, pushing forward with the assembly of the first Block 2 Starship, and keeping the Super Heavy booster assembly line moving. Unfortunately, over at Cape Canaveral, with SpaceX preparing for the much anticipated Polaris Dawn mission, operations have been brought to a grinding halt following a failed booster landing during their latest Starship mission.
