News EditorBlockBeats reported on August 26 that SpaceX plans to build a $100 billion Starship launch base on the southern coast of Louisiana, adding a third Starship launch site. The site is on Pelican Island and spans about 125,000 acres. The plan calls for five launch complexes, 10 launch pads, and facilities for propellant production, power generation, vehicle processing, and employee housing. SpaceX says the base is meant to raise Starship launch frequency and support future plans to build up to 1 million data center satellites. Starship is also expected to launch upgraded Starlink satellites, carry out an orbital data center mission as early as 2027, and take NASA astronauts to the moon as early as 2028.
