Starbase Becomes Official City
Elon Musk’s SpaceX facility in South Texas has officially been designated as the city of Starbase following a decisive vote, with 212 in favor and 6 against. The city, primarily populated by SpaceX employees, aims to streamline operations for rocket launches, although critics express concerns over Musk’s potential control and the authority to close local beaches and parks. As SpaceX seeks to increase launch frequencies, local protests have emerged, emphasizing community access to the area, particularly Boca Chica Beach, which holds cultural significance for residents.
