"All Accurate": Musk Confirms Massive New Starship Rocket Base In Louisiana

Our report from several weeks ago, titled "SpaceX In 'Final Stages' Of Securing Massive New Rocket Launch Site In Louisiana," was confirmed Tuesday afternoon by Elon Musk and his rocket company.

"Starbase, Louisiana, will be built to support thousands of Starship flights a year, with missions launching to Earth orbit, the Moon, Mars, and beyond," SpaceX wrote on X.

SpaceX is poised to take control of roughly 130,000 acres at Pecan Island, more specifically in coastal Vermilion Parish, as part of a settlement resolving long-running coastal lawsuits against ExxonMobil. Gov. Jeff Landry is expected to announce the agreement this month.

One X user responded to Musk's post: "This is unironically the biggest thing to happen to Louisiana since the Louisiana Purchase."
