Starbase está en Boca Chica, en el condado de Cameron, Texas, a unas 23 millas (37 km) al este de Brownsville. Ahí SpaceX construye y lanza Starship, y en 2025 se convirtió en ciudad. Las noticias sobre Starbase se dividen en dos. La prensa espacial nacional sigue el vehículo y la campaña de pruebas. Los medios del Valle del Río Grande siguen los permisos, los cierres de carretera y lo que significa para la gente que vive aquí. Abajo están los dos, porque necesitas los dos para entender lo que pasa.
