SpaceX has just officially announced Starbase, Louisiana, a new $100+ billion spaceport in South Louisiana near Pecan Island.
Construction starts in 2027, with the first Starship launch from the new site planned for 2029.
Starbase, Louisiana will be built to support thousands of Starship flights a year. This self-sustaining spaceport will have propellant production, power generation, deep-water shipping capabilities, vehicle processing facilities, and an airport.
SpaceX is committed to investing at least $100 billion and creating more than 3,000 new jobs at Starbase, Louisana hiring heavily from nearby communities and utilizing Louisiana workers’ extensive experience of building complex infrastructure in their unique environment.
In Vermilion Parish, the shoreline is eroding between 3.3 and 23 feet per year. SpaceX is partnering with state and federal agencies to expand Louisiana’s Coastal Master Plan and Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act projects, including Gulf shoreline protection breakwaters designed to reduce wave energy and slow loss along the Gulf edge.
@joshuaefuller@SawyerMerritt It's not just 7 inches. Longer wheelbase is a much more stressed out interior. This has more total capacity than a Model X
@BernieSanders Except that Musk is self made and he didn't do it on the back of Trump. Stop conflating two separate things: contributing to a campaign ≠ building two of the most successful and useful companies on Earth.
@JulianSore43786@WSJ Wait till they realize NASA has been about maximizing dysfunction by scattering jobs and specializations across as many states as possible for every politician to brag about how many jobs they brought home. Also please educate them on the cost + contract debacle.
