Just rounding up where things are at with the OPFs as a baseline to be ready for potential announcements - in case you're wondering why I've snipped some old quotes into this. Sorry about the tease at the very end.

Great article.  Thanks.

I'm curious - I never see OFP 1 and OPF 2 listed separately on a map.  Which one is closer to the VAB?

Nice article Chris! :) I’m just waiting for the “baby orbiters” to start showing up at their doorstep looking for a home...  ;D

They are in one building. Bay 1 is on the VAB side.

Would be awesome to see lots of vehicles in each OPF.
