SpaceX’s Texas HQ, Starbase, is officially on its way to becoming a city
Texas residents voted to designate Starbase, the headquarters of SpaceX, as its own city.
The newly-designated city is home to SpaceX and many of its employees, and it’s where Elon Musk’s company builds rocket engines, launches spacecraft and manufactures other space-related tech. Musk celebrated on X, while the city also made its first post, stating that “becoming a city will help us continue building the best community possible for the men and women building the future of humanity's place in space.” The idea for Starbase dates back to March 2021, when Musk first teased the idea on what was then Twitter. This designation is particularly important considering SpaceX may be able to circumvent governmental red tape when it comes to scheduling rocket launches.
