2005, SpaceX told to GTFO by NASA and USAF. Did they give up? NO! They built an entirely new launchpad from scratch at the Kwajalein Atoll. That's how Elon works😎

After spending $7 million on restoring a launchpad at the Vandenberg Spaceport, USAF never actually let them use it. Instead of sitting on their hands while waiting for infinite amounts of government paperwork and delays they took charge. In just a few months a new launch site was constructed entirely from scratch in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

When you don't have a bottomless source of taxpayer money you can't afford to be slow.
