Elon Musk's SpaceX has received a key thumbs-up to build the so-called BFR -- for Big Falcon Rocket or Big F****ing Rocket -- on an island steeped in history, both dark and inspirational.
From article, (Elon Musk's SpaceX has received a key thumbs-up to build the so-called BFR -- for Big Falcon Rocket or Big F****ing Rocket -- on an island steeped in history, both dark and inspirational.
The LA Board of Harbor Commissioners gave its unanimous approval on Thursday to permit the company to build the BFR Mars rocket at a new facility on Terminal Island at the Port of Los Angeles.
The rocket will be built at the port and not at the company's inland headquarters in Hawthorne, California, because BFR will be so large that it'll have to be transported on an ocean-going barge to Cape Canaveral, Florida, via the Panama Canal. The new rocket manufacturing facility will be built on a 19-acre parcel on the mostly artificial island that's part of the port.)
