Export the Grok, MatLab, Azure, Chat GPT, Revit, Plant 3D, Civil 3D, Inventor, ENGI file of the Rocket, Building or Refinery to Excel, prepare Budget 1 and export it to COBRA. Prepare Budget 2 and export it to Microsoft Project. Solve the problems of Overallocated Resources and other Planning Problems, prepare the Budget 3 with which the construction of the Rocket, Building or the Refinery is going to be quoted.

3:40 spacex also has a huge testing and fabrication facility on a former military site where they build, prototype and test all things from engines, pumps, starship hardware and falcon hardware (and maybe even lunar hardware but that is still speculation).

Watching plebs comment on environmental concerns that were resolved a decade ago, when they have zero knowledge about is exhausting. Read the EPA responses from SpaceX. They passed a exhaustive list of requirements. Journalism is so poor now.

I have to point this out to the editor. That red dot where NASA is at is Corpus Christi at the 3:37 second mark. Houston is up more north east actually. just a correction that I wanted to point out.

SpaceX launches from south Texas not just because it is closer to the equator but also because equatorial orbit need to launch toward the direction of the spin of the Earth or eastward to catapult the rocket and launch over a large body of water in case it explodes. That's why we have Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Vandenberg Air Force Base in California launches polar orbits so when there is a launch towards the poles the Earth moves eastward moving the land out of the way and the rocket is over the Pacific.
