Why SpaceX Is Starting Its Own City

SpaceX’s facility in Boca Chica has grown a lot in the last couple of years. But if they want to attract the brightest minds to come and work there, they need to turn Boca Chica into a thriving city. This video looks at the plans to create Starbase and what SpaceX needs to do to make it happen.

I cannot wait to look back on these videos in 10/15 years and see what has been achieved

[atree]

The speed of this development is ludicrous.

[IsMaski]

SpaceX found an incredible momentum with the Starship program and they are progressing stupendously fast. They are showing no signs of slowing down at all. This level of progress is truly never seen before.. I so can't wait to see how Starbase will look like in 2025.

Imagine the Space tech boom in TX thats about to happen within the next 30 years.

[Luxorians]

This name of the base is quite prominent!

Always a good day when Primal Space releases a video

[dwagincon]

"what are they doing there?"

"oh they're just building a water tower"

"are water towers meant to fly?"

As a current spacex employee I'll tell you this, if you can't speak Spanish you're gonna have a real hard time working at Starbase currently. It's funny watching engineering and manufacturing trying to discuss complicated issues with each other.

Sounds like we are getting closer to the Buy N Large universe.

[amateurrandomdude]

These are the things that make me wish many decades of life just so i can see more and more..
If not extinct, humanity will never cease to expand and explore as much as it can.
That's worthy and so exciting to witness!

[zacharychild]

Love the story telling along side the educational explanation!

"Boca Chica Star Base" would be a great name for the next port to the stars. Native to Brownsville sever 25 years USAF.

[Intrepid]

Damn, i hope they will build a "Starfleet Academy" somewhere there :D
For future Astronauts when SpaceX has multiple Starships flying around

[deemoe]

I feel bad for the locals but progress cannot be delayed beyond reason, and SpaceX has been generous. Goooo SpaceX!!!

[jessiebullock]

Thank you so much for the yellow bar during your ad!

[beancheez]

I wanna work at the bar and live out my days hearing space travel stories.

Not sure about Boca Chica specifically but Texas in general has a VERY skilled workforce.

The Majestic Theater at 7:36 is still standing only to serve as several businesses within. I have been going to watch movies there as a child and teenager. Great memories.

This is what we have all been waiting for waiting to go to mars

[jimhollywood]

It is a perfect location physically outside of Florida as it is on the gulf coast with the water to the east. It being less inhabited is also ideal. It is close enough to Houston and Austin to draw high tech Engineers. Texas is in general a great place for that. It will grow over time.
