Liebherr LR 11350 Boom Disconnected for Extension | SpaceX Boca Chica

In preparation for its extension, crews disconnected the Liebherr LR 11350's (Frankencrane) boom. Once extended it will be used to lift the eighth Launch Tower section into place. Meanwhile, the GSE 3 tank is moved into the Mid Bay and the eighth Launch Tower section's final column is lifted into place.
