"Had it not been for ABC7 News, no one would have known. As a result, we got a call from a man who said, 'I just saw this thing on the news. Amazing.' Next thing we know, he was donating four pieces of land 1.8 miles from SpaceX."
"In a perfect world, I'd like to put people who need affordable housing in the community of Star Base."
"The capsules are manufactured by Vessel in China, made of space-grade aluminum alloy. Prices start at $69,000 up to $109,000."
"It's a dream come true matching up space capsule housing and space launching, like peanut butter and chocolate -- doesn't get any better."
Affordable housing units reminiscent of space capsules are being introduced in Santa Rosa, gaining national attention. The project, initiated by a nonprofit organization, is expanding to Starbase, Texas, near a SpaceX launchpad. CEO Steve Schneider describes these modern prefab homes as advanced technological housing. The capsules, made of space-grade aluminum alloy and priced between $69,000 to $109,000, aim to provide shelter for the unhoused. Schneider expresses hope to contribute to local communities by placing those in need in Starbase.
