Starbase: A New Texan Town!
A new city has incorporated in Texas — Starbase! Located in Cameron County, to the north of the county seat of Brownsville, Starbase currently boasts a small population of less than 500, including some 300 adults and 120 children.
The town serves as the hub for Elon Musk’s SpaceX spaceport — his rocket launch site. Musk first proposed creating the new city in 2021, saying, “Form thence to Mars, and hence the Stars.” Incorporating as a city will give officials more power to close roads or deem certain areas off-limits during rocket launches.
