Elon Musk is setting his sights on Australian territory in a bid to expand SpaceX’s testing campaign.
SpaceX is in talks with U.S. and Australian officials to land and recover one of its Starship rockets off Australia’s coast, a possible first step toward a bigger presence for Elon Musk’s company in the region as the two countries bolster security ties, according to three people familiar with the plans.
