Submission + - SpaceX Starship Mk 2 Plans for Cocoa - KSC Move Leaked
RhettLivingston writes: Real plans for the move of Starship Mk 2 from its current construction site in Cocoa to KSC have finally emerged. A News 6 Orlando report identifies permit applications and observed preparations for the move which will take a land and sea route.
Barring some remarkably hasty road compaction and paving, the prototype will start its journey off-road, crossing a recently cleared path through vacant land to reach Grissom Parkway. It will then travel east in the westbound lanes of SR 528 for a short distance before loading to a barge in the Indian river via a makeshift dock. The rest of the route is relatively conventional, including offloading at KSC at the site previously used for delivery of the Space Shuttle's external fuel tanks.
Given the recent construction of new facilities at the current construction site, it is likely that this will not be the last time this route is utilized.
