SpaceX plans to launch rockets from a new facility several miles offshore.
A SpaceX job posting went up asking for an engineer to help "design and Romantic comedy Archivesbuild an operational offshore rocket launch facility."

The job is based in Brownsville, Texas, near where SpaceX already has a land-based launch center in Boca Chica. The post also asks for "previous experience living or working offshore, or professional experience in the marine/offshore industry."
We reached out to SpaceX for more details on the project, but didn't immediately hear back.

The job also says you have to be willing to "work on an offshore platform."
