SpaceX readies 'chopstick' test, expands pads
The journey isn't over: next up is an ambitious "chopstick" arm catch test, with Oct. 19 as the earliest possible target.
SpaceX is also building more launch pads in Florida and a planned future complex in Louisiana to ramp up future missions.
All this work is paving the way for bigger goals, like sending people to the Moon and Mars with refueling tech and life-support systems already in the pipeline.
