Texas county approves election to make SpaceX's Starbase its own city

Over in the United States, Cameron County in Texas, has approved an election to determine whether SpaceX's launch site and surrounding areas, will be incorporated as the city of Starbase.

The vote is scheduled for May 3, with early voting set to begin on April 22. It will include residents living near the Boca Chica launch facility.

A petition initiated in December last year garnered over 70 signatures, primarily from SpaceX employees, meeting the state's requirements for incorporation. If the measure passes, Starbase would become the newest city in Cameron County since 1995.
