SpaceX closing down Cocoa construction site, will delay Mk4
The YouTube channel "What About It" just posted a Patreon preview. I cannot provide a link at this time. Has an inside source who revealed SpaceX laid off 80% of the Cocoa workers, will be doing no more construction there. Will construct the new facility at Roberts Road on Kennedy Space Center and then start Mk4. The layoff indicates the gap before Mk4 fabrication will be fairly long, by SpaceX standards. This does not bode well for Mk 2, but there is no word on any possible use. Vid contains more news about the ring welders, etc. Appears SpaceX is taking a more measured approach with Mk4 while proceeding quickly with Mk3. Multiple activities going on at Boca Chica simultaneously, as usual.No intention of posting rumor or speculation. This channel is professionally done and their source has proved to be reliable. The vid will be up on YT Monday morning EDT, or possibly very late Sunday. Not trying to promo them, but the Cocoa site closing is hot news.

SpaceX’s Jessica Jensen explains why the SpX-19 launch will perform a drone ship landing vs. returning to the Cape: need extra performance from 1st stage because 2nd stage will do a “thermal demonstration” in orbit after deployment with a six-hour coast.
