Starbase from Elon Musk can soon become the latest city in Texas

The SACEX Rocket Company is located in southern Texas, in southern Texas, on its way until it becomes an official city bearing the name of the galaxy: Starbase.

A STARBASE vote was officially approved as a city with an unbalanced margin by a small group of voters who live there and most of them are Musk employees in Spacex.

Starbase is the location of the establishment and operation of the Rocket Spacex program that contracts with the Ministry of Defense and NASA hopes to return astronauts to the moon and one day to Mars.

Musk first put forward the idea of ​​Starbase in 2021 and the approval of the new city was confirmed. Of the 283 qualified voters in the region, most of them are believed to be Starbase.

US President Donald Trump’s victory in last November elections was a personal personality. The popularity of the billionaire has shrunk since the general face of the chanting of the Trump administration’s federal position and spending discounts, and profits in Tesla fell his cars.

SpaceX has carried out a wide -ranging support from local officials for its jobs and investment in the region.

But the establishment of an official town from an official company that attracted critics who worried that it will expand the personal MUSK control over the area, with a possible authority to close a famous beach and a government garden to launch it.

The efforts accompanying the city vote include draft laws in the state legislative body to transfer this authority from the province to the city’s mayor and the new city council.

All of these measures come as Spacex require federal authorities to authorize the number of South Texas launch operations from five to 25 years.

The city at the southern end of Texas near the Mexican border is only about 3.9 square kilometers, and it is high in a few roads with Airstream trailers and modest homes in the middle of the century.

Reaching the beach is a point of disagreement between the local population

SPACEX officials have said little about the reason they wanted in the town of a company and did not respond to the email suspension.

“We need the ability to cultivate Starbase as a community,” wrote Catherine Lubers, director of Starbies, Director General of the city.

The letter said that the company is already running methods and facilities, as well as “education and medical provisions” for those who live on property.

Spacex officials told the lawyers that the city’s authority to close the beach would simplify the launch operations. Rocket Spacex and engine tests, and even just transport some equipment around the launch base to close a local highway and access to Boca Chika Governmental Park and Boca Chika Beach.

Critics say that the beach closure body should remain with the provincial government, which represents more population who use the beach and the garden. Cameron County Eddino Junior province said that the province worked well with Spacex and there is no need to change.

Another proposed draft law will make it a misdemeanor of the “B” category “B”, which is 180 days in prison if someone does not comply with an order to evacuate the beach.

The Environmental Justice Network in South Texas, which organized protests against the city’s vote and the issue of access to the beach, held another demonstration on Saturday that attracted dozens of people.

Jose Hinojosa, whose young daughter, who was building the sanding of the sand, said that she was participating to try to ensure continued access to the beach that her family enjoyed for generations.

With Spacex, Hinojosa said, “On some days it is closed, and on some days it explodes.”

The organizer Christopher Basalid, a member of the Karizo/Comecarodo tribe in Texas, said his predecessors were long ago in the region, where Rio Grandi meets the Gulf.

He said: “This is not only important, it is sacred.”
