Say Goodbye to the Mid Bay! | SpaceX Boca Chica

As SpaceX continues its expansion of the Starfactory, the midbay was demolished to make room at the production site. The mid bay was used for Starship ring and nosecone stacking previously. Also, Ship 25's tiles were installed, covering its lift points, in preparation for the next integrated test flight.
