“Spaceship factory.” I like the sound of that. “My cousin just got a job down at the spaceship factory.”

Suborbital space tourism provider Virgin Galactic announced Thursday (July 14) that it will build its next-generation Delta class space planes at a manufacturing facility in Mesa, a suburb of Phoenix.

Mesa is not a “suburb” of Phoenix; it is an entirely different fairly large city to the east of Phoenix. They are even separated by a couple of other distinct cities: Tempe and Chandler.
