clearly not Doooomeed with the level of funding they have had, and a 'KFC' that will bring the punters in, just to temper the excitement though "The review provides no timeline or budget for the complex’s construction, or estimates of any jobs created" So a great concept which may or may not happen.

Hmm, strategically, talk about having all your eggs in one basket.

Don't they have 2 other launch locations

They have used Vandenberg for polar launches - as does most US space launch operations.

They use two pads at Cape Canaveral

They are building a site at McGregor, Texas.

[Beati Dogu]

McGregor, Texas is the engine test site.

They're not allowed to launch into space from there or they'll get a $25 fine apparently. That's what I read anyway.


The new launch site is being built at Boca Chica, Texas - down on the Gulf of Mexico.

I was thinking more of the number of companies/facilities thing.
