In a groundbreaking collaboration to further push exploration of mankind’s two remaining frontiers — ocean and space — Los Angeles port officials on Thursday announced that rocket innovator SpaceX will join with marine research center AltaSea in a yearlong partnership at San Pedro’s outer harbor.

“I always thought there was a connection between the port and aerospace and this is just the beginning of building the bridge between the two,” said Los Angeles Harbor Commissioner Anthony Pirozzi.

The announcement of the off-shore platform recovery and other programs that will be launched in San Pedro elicited a wave of praise at the regular commission meeting.

“I’m fired up, I don’t know about you,” said Los Angeles City Councilman Joe Buscaino who called it an “amazing partnership.”
