SpaceX’s new rocket facility officially lands in Brownsville, Texas

SpaceX made clear that it was going to put a launch facility in Texas before long, and today we’ve received the full skinny on just where that base is going. As suspected, the Governor’s Office has announced that the commercial spaceport will be built in Brownsville, near the Mexico border. The state says it will pump a total of $15.3 million into the region to help create the necessary infrastructure. This isn’t SpaceX’s first Texan location (it already has a development site in McGregor), but it will certainly be the most conspicuous — especially if rumors of multiple vehicle launches per day ultimately prove true.
