SpaceX is building the industrial infrastructure to manufacture up to 1,000 Starships per year. The Starfactory at Starbase is designed for that annual rate, and two enormous GigaBays are under construction — one at Starbase, Texas, one at Kennedy Space Center, Florida.
The Florida GigaBay alone: 380 feet tall, 815,000 sq ft of workspace, 46.5 million cubic feet of interior volume, 24 Starship/Super Heavy work cells, 400-ton cranes — over 11x the workspace of the current Megabay. A Starfactory-style facility in Florida is also planned, turning Starship into a mass-produced, rapidly reusable transportation system.
