This is John Batcher, a conversation with Eric Berger of Ars Technica about SpaceX's vision

for the next and the next and the future launches from Cape Canaveral as well as from Boca Chica.

Two chopsticks, Eric explains.

Two chopsticks.

Why and how?

We're also talking about a vision

in far in the future of a field of chopsticks.

What is a chopstick?

Eric Berger.

Arstaknica, also the author of Liftoff, the story of the beginning of SpaceX when it was just the Falcon 9 and they were

testing out of quadulin in the Pacific and now chopsticks more of this later

tonight thank you yeah eventually the plan is to have two launch More of this later tonight. Thank you.

Yeah, eventually the plan is to have two launch towers each with chopsticks in Texas and two in Florida.

And the whole idea there is that you get the boosters back, you check them out, and then you put them right back on the launch pad and fly them again.

You know, that's the vision. I think it'll take several years for them to get there, but as we've seen with the Falcon 9 operations.

You know, one of the reasons why they're doing the chopsticks is when these land on the drone

ship it takes a couple days to come back to the port and you've got to transfer it,

then you've got to do refurbishing and all this stuff. And's just they think it's going to be much quicker to just grab it

Put it back on the launch pad and do their inspections and and restorative work there and then go again

That's division and it's all sort of aimed

toward streamlining toward rapid and reusable flight.
