Electrical performances, space rockets, electronic means of payment in the beginnings and, now, construction of cities. Elon Musk wants to create a city in the state of Texas, south-central United States, called Starbase. And that’s why it should change the one that already exists, Boca Chica.
This Tuesday, Musk tweeted, “Creating the City of Starbase, Texas” in what would be an apparent reference to renaming the house of SpaceX development facilities in Boca Chica Village along the Gulf of Mexico, very close to the southern border.
To soften, he continued with a more poetic line: “From there to Mars, and from there the stars.”
Of course, it’s just a wish: it’s not easy to change the name of a city, due to the logical built-in bureaucracy.
In fact, Cameron County Judge Eddie Trevino Jr. issued a brief statement Tuesday in response to SpaceX speculation. Treviño said SpaceX has officially approached Cameron County to Convert Boca Chica Village to Starbase City, Texas |. And he warned that to move forward, Musk will have to follow all legal steps “in accordance with the applicable law” of the state.
“If SpaceX and Elon Musk wish to follow this path, they must comply with all state incorporation statutes. Cameron County will process any appropriate petitions in accordance with applicable law,” the judge clarified.
Judge Boca Grande’s response to Musk’s proposal
Boca Chica Village is an unincorporated community in Cameron County that is already famous for launching prototypes of spacecraft, SpaceX’s next-generation spacecraft. If the idea of Musk’s name change materializes, we could start reading, “SpaceX launches Starship from Starbase.”
Everything indicates that Musk takes it much more seriously than it sounds. And he even considers doing something that exceeds “by far” the Boca Chica area.
Not only does Musk look up
The tycoon and second richest man in the world is not the only one with space ambitions. In addition to his dispute with Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon and CEO of the aerospace company Blue Origin, he now appeared a Japanese businessman with a striking proposal.
Yusaku Maezawa, chosen as the world’s first tourist to orbit the moon, announced on Wednesday a campaign to find eight crew members with a creative vocation to accompany him on his journey, scheduled for 2023.

The Japanese billionaire announced his space journey in 2018 and then expressed a desire to bring with him eight artists.
As he explained in a video posted on his social media, Maezawa began to wonder what he meant by an artist and came to the conclusion that “it can be anyone who is anywhere in the world doing some activity. creative “.
The employer only requires two requirements to apply to join what will be the first private space trip in history, in which it is expected that a total of between 10 and 12 people participate.
The first is “to be people who believe that this journey into space can expand their creativity in order to do something useful for society” and that, with that in mind, “which he believes may serve as support for the rest of the crew“, He said in the video.
The space battle is open.
