The Texas launch site of Elon Musk’s SpaceX could soon have its very own city.
Officials on Wednesday approved an election sought by the aerospace firm that would allow residents who live near its Starbase site—almost all of them employees—to carve out a new municipality in an unincorporated area of Cameron County near the U.S.-Mexico border.
If the May 3 vote is successful, the new city would share the Starbase name with the site, where the Musk-led SpaceX constructs and launches its colossal Starship rockets.
