What SpaceX Just Did in Florida after California's Launch Trouble Shocked CA Gov!
The California government once believed it could stifle SpaceX by hindering its launch capabilities, but they couldn't have been more wrong.
Instead of slowing down, these obstacles have only fueled SpaceX's determination to enhance its operations in another site: Florida.
Indeed, Elon Musk's rocket company is now shaking up the entire space industry with its ambitious plans at Cape Canaveral.
This demonstrates an unwavering commitment to a future where they can conduct rapid, high-volume launches toward their ultimate goal: colonizing Mars.
So, what exactly are their plans? How close are they to realizing this vision?
Stay tuned as we uncover everything you need to know about SpaceX's exciting future in Florida!
What SpaceX Just Did in Florida after California's Launch Trouble Shocked CA Gov!
For 7 years, SpaceX has left its significant footprint in Kennedy Space Center’s historic Launch Complex 39A, home of the Apollo and Space Shuttle programs. After NASA opened up the pad for commercial use, Blue Origin and SpaceX both submitted a bid. Blue Origin requested shared non-exclusive use of the complex while SpaceX wanted to use it exclusively. On December 13, 2013, NASA announced the selection of SpaceX as the new commercial tenant. The agreement was signed on April 14, 2014, giving SpaceX the exclusive use for 20 years. Modifications for Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launches soon followed. The first launch was on February 19, 2017, for Commercial Resupply Services 10. Since then, this location has witnessed frequent SpaceX launches, up to 93 missions including 81 Falcon 9 and 11 Falcon Heavy in total, as of November, 17.

Besides KSC, there is another launch facility in Florida: Cape Canaveral Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) which SpaceX leased in 2007 for Falcon 9 rocket launch with the initial launch in 2010. With over 220 Falcon 9 launches as of November 2024, the number of Falcon 9 launches here surpasses that in LC-39A.
That's about launch, for landing, SpaceX has Landing Zone 1 and Landing Zone 2, also known as LZ-1 and LZ-2 respectively, are landing facilities at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station used by SpaceX. They allow the company to land the first stage of its Falcon 9 rocket or the two side boosters of its Falcon Heavy rocket.

Elon's thought is on progress and exploration while Gavin is
On money and corruption. That is a monumental difference.
😅😅😅😅😅

california just lost a 12 billion tax payoff from musk, how in the worls gavin nusome so bad aT THIS

[howiedewin]

I'm just a bit older than manned spaceflight: What amazing sheet they've done! Elon rocks.

[KevinBissett-mx]

Good Morning, my Friend. On my phone this morning. Great Update. 39A makes perfect sense. I still don't know if a flame trench is the best idea. Again Great Update. Have a Great Day.

LEON MUSK KING OF SCORCHED EARTH...KEEP IT UP FOOLS

[djjohnson]

Welcome to Florida. Low regulation and no state income tax

[sachmo]

Note: No one from CA can leave earth anymore! Those of us that escaped CA, can. The date to escape (Stalins wall), has passed. You are now in the "Un-Correctable/clown" zone.😂. Oh, if ya thought...China will save ya?...wrong!!! Blockade is coming.

Well a company deserve to have the right to manufacture their products in any state or not manufacture in a given state!
FGN, NP, AS & all of the other ding bats out there.
You are a prime example of why we need term limits. House members are currently every two years, senator’s serve six years. IMHO the president is limited to two four year terms, so why can a member of the house or senate serve a lifetime. So to make it fair no one will serve more than eight combined years. The country will be better served this way as it will cut back on corruption& insider trading.
Oh wait, while I’m at it no member of the government will be allowed to trade stock.

[SJP]

Well that’s both of Elon’s companies they’ve lost. All that money and jobs. Looks good on them.

[MrOvertoad]

Why does listening to AI speak piss me off?

[dougcox]

Just to let you know, SLC is commonly pronounced slick. No one actually says S L C in conversation.

What about launch facilities at SpaceX's facilities in Boca Chica Texas?

[rocroc]

Well, excellent report. I would not eliminate the Falcon 9 myself except to replace it with a more powerful modified Falcon rocket based on the use of the Raptor engine. A rocket that can be used for launches and landings from every state in the union and especially from every near ocean state. A rocket with perhaps 15 Raptor engines and second or third stage that can land propulsively. The Starship is a great idea and worthy of acclaim but can only be launched from a limited number of locations. The real strength of the Falcon rocket is that it could be used point to point on earth. While it cannot carry the same weight as the Starship, I just think the utility of it is exceptional in certain applications. Clean up the emissions and more than double the delivery weight. We may soon see what Blue Origin has in mind but it could fill the bill if it works. For me, that's a horrible thought but unfortunately doable. Given headlines this morning we are back in war mode and anything we can use to protect ourselves is a bonus. I believe SX could produce a modified Falcon rocket (or modified Starship) and do it pretty quickly as opposed to the apparent limitations of Blue Origin.

Who writes this things? A better editor should be a high priority. How many times can you mention launch pad 39A?

[pr]

Many years ago, Musk said he would be landing people on mars in 2024. Currently, he is no where near getting Starship into orbit.

[brendan]

I'm all for sending Elon Musk to Mars. Make it a two seater and Trump can go to keep him company.
