Elon Musk's vision of establishing Starbase, Texas, is now a reality following a local vote in which 212 out of 218 residents supported its incorporation. The tiny city, primarily comprising SpaceX employees and their families, spans about one and a half square miles. This development not only marks a significant milestone for Musk's SpaceX but also positions Starbase as a crucial launch site for NASA and the Department of Defense. Future steps involve formal judicial recognition of the election results and a commitment to foster a thriving community around space exploration efforts.
