That's...AMAZING!

so no more it being pre-assembled at the HUGE Vehicle assembly building (525 foot high ceiling) then wheeled completely intact to the launch site at a speed of 3mph?

Success paves the way for even greater success, especially in SpaceX's case. They are gonna be building bigger and better robots in the future. It almost seems like they never sleep, compared to their behemoth competitors.
