Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX, has unveiled an ambitious vision to convert the company’s Starbase facility in Boca Chica, Texas, into an official city. The proposal aims to elevate the site, currently a private spaceport and development facility, into a fully functioning municipality.
Musk has previously hinted at plans to expand Starbase’s role in supporting SpaceX’s missions, including the development of the Starship spacecraft. Now, his vision includes establishing infrastructure to accommodate residential housing, businesses, and recreational spaces, creating a community centered around space exploration.
Texas laws require various approvals for forming a city, including petitions and local government cooperation. If successful, Starbase City could become a hub for cutting-edge space technology and innovation, cementing Musk’s legacy in shaping the future of space travel.
Stay tuned for further updates on this groundbreaking development.
