  1.  @riparianlife97701  and yet SpaceX still sets itself apart from Old Space, because it's actually logical to build them in California (LA is an aerospace engineering center, so lots of potential employees, nearby research labs, etc, plus they got a large facility cheap from McDonnell Douglas or somebody. So California was the best place to put the early design and construction, just as Fremont was the best place to start Tesla), test them in Texas (they took over an existing rocket test facility, and they don't have to worry about California pollution rules lol, and it's basically on the way to Florida. Testing them wouldn't be practical in either California or Florida), and then launching in Florida is a given because that's where the launch pads are. With NASA, Boeing, etc, they spread out the facilities all over the place just to keep the politicians happy, and it makes no scientific sense splitting teams up and having to transport parts all over and back again.
