The space economy's ground game
Launch cadence is industrializing a handful of rural corridors — and the land around them still prices like desert.
Launch rates that were yearly are becoming weekly, and a reusable-rocket industry needs what every heavy industry needs: supplier parks, recovery zones, worker housing, and visitor infrastructure — in places chosen for emptiness. A small set of corridors (Gulf Coast Texas, Florida's Space Coast inland belt, southern New Mexico, coastal Virginia) will absorb decades of industrial demand onto land that mostly still trades as scrubland. The asymmetry is the timeline: this is the cheapest thesis to enter and the slowest to pay.
