After the completion of the structural frame, eight assembler robots are deployed onto the rail, taking their positions to begin assembling the hangar's protective shell.

Time flies fast. This marks the start of intermediate era where the partially reusable Falcon 9 is phased out in favour of the FULLY reusable Starship.
Starship will haul never before levels of payload and humans to Earth orbit, Cislunar space and eventually Mars's surface
This morningโs @SpaceX mission from pad 40 was the last planned Falcon 9 Starlink launch from Florida (and it launched on the fleet leading booster!!), marking the end of an era for these launches on the East Coast. From here on, Starlink missions out of Florida will fly on Starship. The West Coast team will continue regularly launching Starlink from Vandenberg.

Super proud of this incredible team. Youโve made Falcon 9 the most reliable launch vehicle in history. You also helped build the largest low-Earth orbit satellite constellation providing connectivity to millions around the world, and youโve set the foundation for whatโs next.

In the last seven years, Falcon has flown ~260 Starlink missions from the Capeโฆ canโt wait until we launch that and many more with Starship!
