In short
SpaceX is constructing an advanced in-house foundry in Bastrop, Texas, to manufacture high-spec gas turbine blades and vanes for power generation supporting AI data centres. The initiative aims to address a severe supply chain bottleneck, with CEO Elon Musk stating that in-house casting could accelerate natural gas turbine availability by up to 18 months. The facility will produce single-crystal nickel-superalloy components capable of withstanding extreme heat, leveraging synergies between aerospace and data centre power applications.
