Yeah he pretty much has 1 and 2 almost down. Hopefully he can go a year without another problem.

Then again if it was so easy, everyone would be doing it and not rebranding Russian motors as their own... Razz

And reusing their rockets...

It doesn't matter where the launches originate. The headquarters is based in California. It's construction facilities are in California. Therefore, SpaceX will still suffer the taxes California drums up to levy against it.
