SpaceX's Giant Crane Spotted at NASA Kennedy Space Center; Here's How It'll First Starship Florida Launch Tower

SpaceX's giant crane was spotted at the NASA Kennedy Space Center (KSC) Launch Complex 39A in Merritt Island, Florida.

This means that the independent space agency is now making more efforts to increase the speed of its first Florida-based Starship launch tower construction.

Based on the leaked images, the bottom part of the giant crane is already in place. On the other hand, experts confirmed that more parts of the machinery were delivered on Tuesday, June 7.

On the other hand, NASASpaceflight.com photographers confirmed the posted images on social media platforms. Here's how the giant crane can help SpaceX complete its first Starship launch tower in Florida.

SpaceX's Giant Crane Spotted at NASA Kennedy Space Center

According to Teslarati's latest report, giant cranes are not really new for SpaceX. Recently, the space company also used the same kind of machine to construct its Starship's first orbital site and tower in South Texas.

Critics concluded that the crane spotted in Florida is the same machinery that SpaceX used to build its South Texas-based Starship tower.

This means that the crane model is LR 11350. Once the giant equipment is completed, it can increase the speed of SpaceX's Starship construction in Florida.

As of writing, the independent space company has already assembled five sections of its Starship launch tower, with four sections remaining.

More SpaceX Starships To Arrive

Recently, we reported that Elon Musk plans to build more than 1,000 additional SpaceX Starships. The billionaire confirmed this detail via his official Twitter post.

"Build 1000+ Starships to transport life to Mars. Basically, (very) modern Noah's Arks," said Musk.

If SpaceX can achieve this goal, there's a high chance that the CEO's Mars colonization plan will start early.

Meanwhile, the Starlink Africa license was obtained by SpaceX, allowing it to build the largest radio telescope.
