This week at Starbase crews begin assembly of a new crane at the launch site to continue construction of the new launch tower. Construction also continues on Starships and Superheavy boosters, as well as the scrapping of Ship 26. Meanwhile, over in Florida, SpaceX continues Starlink launch and recovery operations, and we're treated to a fresh batch of flyover photos courtesy of Greg Scott.
