The article says "this facility will create 300 jobs and pump $85 million in capital investment into the local economy." I suspect that means the launch site will cost $85 million to build.



Yes I read that, but I imagine that means that the total cost is at least $85 million. R&D and components done/made elsewhere aren't going to be figured in to that $85 million.


Don't fool yourself, it will cost a LOT more than $85 million to build. $85 million is just how much gets spent directly and indirectly in Texas.
