According to Reuters, Elon Musk's own personal rocket company, SpaceX is planning to expand the facilities used for its refurbishment and storage of rockets in a 2.2 acre lot of land next to the building it currrently occupies. Formerly the building was used for Nasa's Spacehab modules, the facility has since been taken over by SpaceX in March. Besides saving mucho dollars, the company will consolidate its production and work more efficiently.
So far, two of its refurbished rockets have been relaunched this past weekend with 12 successful landings all together since the first Falcon rocket's launch in December 2015. Nothing beats napalm in the morning or a new car smell, but I'd wager one of those things smell like a rocket fuel.
The company is preparing for its 10th flight of the year, and third launch in nine days, on Sunday. SpaceX has a backlog of more than 70 missions, worth more than $10 billion, spokesman Taylor said./QUOTE]
