Work continues at a frenzied pace at SpaceX's land near the Port of Brownsville, the massive building is starting to take shape on the freshly cleared land just south of the port, with a brand new road quickly taking shape beside it! 🎥 @NASASpaceflight

Blue Origin is busy over at the Rocket Park. The former Ares 1 LM-1 has moved to be staged outside of MILA where the GS2 test area is well underway. Another crane has risen on the skyline. The Project Horizon building should take shape relatively fast with a ton of steel already staged. 📷 @NASASpaceflight
