I guess California isn't the place to be.....

XCOR Facilities "XCOR Aerospace is located in Hangar 61 at 1314 Flightline on the Mojave Air & Space Port and Civilian Aerospace Test Center in Mojave, California. The Space Port is located in southeastern Kern County at the western edge of the Mojave about 100 miles north of Los Angeles and 20 miles northwest of Edwards Air Force Base in Mojave, California."....

So the once and future Republic of Texas will have a space program? :-)

From what I've read, at least part of the interest in an Eastern Texas (Gulf Coast) launch location is for if and when they develop a reusable booster.

The idea is that they launch over the Gulf, and the booster will then land in Florida. They need a launch site with nothing and no one under the flight path (to the east/southeast) for several hundred miles, and they need land beyond that for a landing site for the booster. The east coast of Texas provides all that.

Abundant natural resources, a robust population, and a space industry. Sounds like Texas has a lot going for it.

Oops there goes another one.
