I visited in October 2022. It's pretty easy to access; take a flight to Brownsville, Texas, and drive 40 minutes south to Boca Chica Beach. You can look at the Rocket Garden and orbital launch pad (which may or may not have a fully-stacked rocket) from the public road. If you want to look around inside the main facility, you'll need a SpaceX employee to submit a tour request and show you around. There's quite a bit to see inside as well, but photos aren't allowed.

- **Mount Humboldt, New Caledonia** (to see the Araucaria)
- **Very Large Array**
