SpaceX Boca Chica - SN5 Pre-150m Hop - Bluezilla is Back |
![]() |
The day before SN5's 150m hop attempt is seemingly the same as any other in Boca Chica. The Manitowoc 18000 Crane, aka Bluezilla, is returned to operational status, a new four ring stack with lead ins was spotted, construction at the production and launch sites and outdoor eating area continued, work on the High Bay progressed and some new parts were delivered to the launch site.
