And then check out the size of the milling bed. The mill head runs on
the tracks in the pit gehind these guys and they are walking around on
the mill bed.

Thats not fixturing per say...that appears to be the actual space craft
and they are machining parts..already attached...so they fit.
Trimming and fitting. Which I find exceptionally disturbing...as all
that sort of stuff should have been properly done long before they ever
started assembling the beasty.
Allthough..on the other hand...it isnt all that bad an idea, if its a
prototype and they are "modeling" or using the Soviet Method of
construction. Its just not something I would have associated with NASA.
