SpaceX acquires rival's launchpad for Starship operations
SpaceX is turning the legendary Launch Complex-37 at Cape Canaveral—once used for Apollo missions—into a new home for its giant Starship rockets. The plan includes building two massive 600-foot towers, all part of SpaceX's push to grow its presence in Florida and keep leading the space game.

With upgrades also coming to Kennedy Space Center's LC-39A, SpaceX isn't just launching rockets—it's making itself even more essential for big government space missions. Even as rivals like Blue Origin worry about SpaceX getting too powerful, these moves mean more launches and bigger ambitions are on the way.
