A uReport video shows the installation of the 40-foot "Raygun Gothic Rocket Ship" along the Embarcadero, near Pier 14.
Artists planned to work on it throughout Tuesday night and plan to have a debut party Friday afternoon.
The rocket ship first caused a stir at Burning Man.
It will be on the embarcadero for the next 14 months.
