SpaceX knocks out morning launch with record booster from Cape Canaveral

SpaceX got back to a quick pace between launches with another Starlink mission from the Space Coast on Thursday using its fleet-leading booster for a record flight.

A Falcon 9 rocket carrying 23 of its Starlink satellites lifted off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station’s Space Launch Complex 40 at 7:14 a.m.

The first-stage booster for the flight made its record-breaking 22nd trip off the pad having previously flown crewed missions Inspiration4 and Axiom Space’s Ax-1 as well as 19 other missions.

It made another landing downrange in the Atlantic on the droneship Just Read the Instructions.

That marks 325 booster recoveries for the company and 294 reflights. SpaceX has three other boosters with 20 or more flights under their belt.

At $120 million, this industrial land deal is the Orlando area’s largest of the year

An out-of-state buyer recently closed on a business park near the Orlando International Airport in what was one of the Orlando market’s largest industrial transactions in recent memory.

Irvine, CA-based LBA Logistics purchased the Lee Vista Business Center for $120 million from New York-based Link Logistics, a subsidiary of investment management company Blackstone, according to a report in GrowthSpotter.

The 81-acre business park, situated off of Emerald Dunes Drive, includes 635,684 square feet of warehouse, office, and distribution space spread out over four buildings. In 2009, developer McDonald Development delivered phase 1, which consisted of two buildings and 333,300 square feet. The developer completed another 145,800-square-foot building in 2015 as part of the property’s second phase. A year later, Link Logistics bought the three existing buildings for $47.89 million.

In 2018, McDonald delivered the third phase of the industrial park, consisting of a 159,885-square-foot building. In 2019, Link Logistics closed on the final building for $15.5 million, bringing their total investment to about $63.4 million. read more
