Elon Musk, who’s currently trying to do bigger, bolder things than any other technologist or industrialist on the planet, is planning on soon building a launch site for SpaceX, most likely in Texas. From a TechCrunch report on his SXSW appearance:

“Part of the reason he is here in Texas is to meet with Texas legislature to talk about launch facilities. Elon detailed that SpaceX really needs a third launch site besides Cape Canaveral and Vandenberg; they need a commercial launch facility and they need to be able to launch Eastward and near the equator. As a state, Texas is the leading candidate, but other states are being considered. They have some things to work through like making sure beaches can be closed. If everything works out though, in the best case, SpaceX could  be start starting construction next year on a facility in Texas. Launches could happen within two to three years.”
