Talk:SpaceX facilities

McGregor test site historical info
There is a bit of background on the nature of what was at the SpaceX Rocket Development and Test Facility in McGregor, Texas before SpaceX bought (a major part) of the land where the military facilities had formerly been located here, at this link: Maps and information on the NWIRP (Naval Weapons Industrial Reserve Plant, McGregor).

Prior to becoming one of the Navy's NWIRPs, the facility was the Bluebonnet Ordnance Plant, established by the U.S. Army Ordnance Corps in 1942.

The link might help in the development of, and improvement of, a separate article on the SpaceX McGregor facility at some future time. The article at the link provides considerable historical information, as well as a lot of info on the environmental contamination of the site by the Army and Navy production of both ordnance and solid rocket fuel at the 9,600 acre NWIRP facility.

McGregor test facility update
Several minutes of the Falcon 9 Flight 26 launch webcast (today, 15 June) were devoted to a good bit of updates about the current operations at the McGregor test facility. Will be useful to update the article when released as an historical video. N2e (talk) 14:27, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

Map of all SpaceX facilities
Some kind soul has helpfully constructed a google map of all SpaceX facilities.

It is quite obviously not suitable as a source for Wikipedia, but could be quite useful for getting names and approx. locations for further searches to improve the article. N2e (talk) 12:14, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

KSC 39A
Seems to be two places for information, 'current facilities, Florida' and also 'Crewed mission leased launch site, Florida' much of that in the second section seems to be about acquisition and controversy. The title for the second bit seems wrong, it is being/will be used for Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy as well as crewed missions. Not quite sure how to retitle section. Also should it be moved perhaps merging with relevant parts of Florida section? I would suggest having titles for Cape Canaveral and Kennedy Space Centre rather than combining these under Florida. This is probably a hang-over from when it wasn't a current facility and should be merged into a more appropriate place. However though I better ask in case there are different views on how to rearrange this. crandles (talk) 20:37, 12 March 2017 (UTC)


 * To add a question: Should we have Boca Chica under a 'Launch facilities under construction' title and should this come before or after other test facilities?crandles (talk) 20:57, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

Proposed future facilities section
As of October 14, 2019, all info in this section is very out of date.

Article name does not represent the article scope
Article name (currently, SpaceX launch facilities) does not represent the scope of all the material that is in this article. Rather, the article seems to represent a summary of SpaceX facilities, their build facilities, their test facilities (like McGregor over the 2010s and 2021), etc.

So, question. Do we want to delete the info in the article that does not fit into the title scope? Or change the title to reflect the article scope? Or does anyone have a better idea? N2e (talk) 05:43, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
