There are many new and exciting things happening in the Waco area, but there are 2 things that I find particularly exciting. Space X and the Mammoth Site.
In the past couple of days, the Waco Trib has written 2 articles, each about these 2 extraordinary places:
"Mammoth site moves closer to national monument status"
"McGregor's SpaceX competing with Alabama company for $150 million in funding"
Space X—Right in our own backyard in McGregor TX is Space X test facility.
The Waco Tribune, Mike Copeland discussed the fight for stimulus funds that could greatly increase the size and mission of Space X. Very interesting reading.
I visited Space X yesterday while they tested a rocket. Was a very powerful site that made me really appreciate the importance and potential coming from this company.
For anyone that is unaware of who or what Space X is. I highly encourage you to visit their website. If that doesn’t fascinate or excite you, I don’t know what will.

Mammoth Site—Inside the city limits right off of Steinbeck Bend is developing into what could be one of the most interesting places ever. Headed towards National Park Status, this place is nothing to take lightly.
According to WacoMammoth.Org, “The Waco Mammoth Site is the largest known concentration of prehistoric mammoth elephants dying from the same event."
Fascinating, isn't it? I sure think it is. I can't wait to see what the future holds.
Waco is full of great surprises. Whether you live here or just want to visit, Waco is a great place to be.

Very cool info Wendy. Much of Texas has a lot of prehistoric sites, and dinosaur bones and such. Texas sure was a lot different in the millions of years ago era. Even covered with water.
