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

...

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.

Thanks! Maybe they love those high taxes and higher employee salaries in California.
