Good news for Texas as Space X has finalized Brownsville, Texas to be site for new launch facility using which commercial satellites will be sent into orbit.

The announcement came from the office of Texas Governor Rick Perry. It has also been unveiled that Texas will be providing US$2.3 million for the infrastructure required for the project. The project will bring 300 new jobs to the state and will generate $85 million in capital investments.

Generally, the launches have been carried out in the facilities of NASA and US Air Force in Florida, California, and Virginia. For past three years, discussions had taken place between Texas and Space X. Though the new facility will be built in Texas, the launch facility will require FAA and local approvals.

If all goes well, advantage of the destination will be taken as spaceport is located in south and because of earth's spin, fuel cost will get reduced. "SpaceX is excited to expand our work in Texas with the world's first commercial launch complex designed specifically for orbital missions. We appreciate the support of Gov. Perry and numerous other federal, state and local officials", stated SpaceX CEO Elon Musk.

The project will inspire students to take up science and will also attract tourists to the south Texas, affirmed Musk. Therefore, it can be said that situation would prove quite beneficial for Texas.
