Just saw this story. Looks like big changes may be coming just a bit north of the KSC vistor center. Very impressive.

New Launch Control Center, Booster and Fairing Processing and Storage Facility, and Rocket Garden.

SpaceX plans major expansion at KSC with futuristic launch control center

Wow. That is some ambitious plans.

I wonder if they will make a FH for the rocket garden? They have both side boosters and a spare F9 booster they could make a center core. Build a dummy second stage and interstage and place some of the ocean fairings on top. How awesome would that be?

I would guess that once this gets built they will probably have plenty of retired parts to assemble into an impressive display.

That is cool.
Since this is TMC, I'll ask: um, what's the red car in the foreground heading toward the distinctly Model S?
Is it a teaser Model Y or just a Herring?

Good spot. Looks sort of like a Magnum to me. You compare it that old style Model S though and it is huge. So maybe a second extra big version of he Model X.
