The next day was the SpaceX factory, which might be even cooler, but the building contains advanced rocket technology
- Role: setting
- In the article: Urban tours the SpaceX factory but may not photograph it because rocket technology counts as weapons technology; afterwards he talks with senior engineers.
- Why it matters: The visit is part of the reporting behind the series, though the text says little about the place itself.
- Real vs. fictional: The post says only ‘the SpaceX factory’; it is the company’s Hawthorne headquarters.
