Frankencrane, we salute you. The amazing things you helped put together. Farewell and godspeed.

6:27. This. This is how the road to space is paved. Not only by the bright minds of scientists, designers and software engineers, but also by hard physical labour of thousands of people like this man.
I have deepest respect for people like him.

9:00 It's as if the operators were saying "You got it, Nic? Did you get a good shot at the inside of this dome???" ahahahhahahahahahaha

[rschris]

Thanks for another awesome video !! The zooms are really nice!

[supersquirrelanimates]

Franken crane is also being disassembled and retired around Halloween. May it forever be remembered

[peterwallis]

Mary, Nic nice work....keeps on getting better, many thanks

Tankzilla and now Frankencrane. Seeing Frankencrane getting disassembled is a sad moment. Life goes on.. With all raptor engines installed on the ship, we have a chance of seeing another Static Fire coming our way soon. Gotta keep a lookout for road closures in the coming days..

It would be fascinating to see any changes in their method of attaching the thermal tiles.

[johnwiles]

So glad to see what b2.1 was for. Also, respects for FrankenCrane.

The focus pull at 6:27 is gorgeously cinematic! 😃

[EMMX]

They should've ordered the LR13000 :D

[photogeNK]

I just wanna see the chopsticks raised up to the QD arm level!

[zla]

earliest i've ever been to a video

[caroldeeds]

I think it is better to refer to the "ballast" as counterweights.

[vin]

The Lego version of liebher lr 11000 is so cool

[iamzid]

it's a good thing there just happened to be some extra cranes around to help with assembling spacex's new crane.

[friedhelmwilkens]
