“Sounds like they are going to ship them to Florida. Why didn’t they just find some place in Florida to build them? I wouldn’t want a BFR I built to be exposed to a sea voyage from California to Florida.

I wonder why they wouldn’t build it in a facility adjacent to the Cape?
Synthetics construction?

Good question. SpaceX already builds their current rockets not far away in Hawthorne, CA. And there are more aerospace people in Southern CA than in FL. Plus they’ll be launching in more locations than Cape Canaveral.
Since a BFR is reusable, it will only have to transported by barge one time.
