Wow, new hangar under construction across the parking lot from the main building?
Yes, I've been a member before, in more flush times...any non L2 info on this hangar? It's clearly needed if you're refurbishing multiple stages.

In a brief address, human resources vice president Brian Bjelde from the company’s headquarters in Hawthorne, California, told diners under a pavilion that SpaceX had conducted 5,000 tests at the McGregor facility since its establishment in 2003.“Some say that’s more tests than a person would take showers in 13 years,” Bjelde said. “It’s a long way to come from three employees on 250 acres to our current 500 employees here now.”
