SpaceX Proposes Turning Starbase into a New Texas City
SpaceX is seeking to incorporate its South Texas launch site, Starbase, into an official city. Employees have petitioned for a special election to facilitate this, aiming to streamline infrastructure development and improve living conditions for the site's residents. The move is part of SpaceX's broader strategy to establish South Texas as a key hub for its Mars colonization efforts. However, the proposal faces challenges, including environmental concerns and recent denial of a variance request by Cameron County commissioners.
