- SpaceX's Starbase in South Texas has evolved from a barren site to a major launch and manufacturing hub over the past decade.
- Initial infrastructure included small tents and a tech hub called 'Stargate,' which was later demolished as SpaceX expanded.
- The new 'Starfactory' is a massive, modern facility central to SpaceX's ambitious Starship production and launch plans.
- The rapid development has transformed the local area, displacing previous communities and raising environmental concerns.
- Despite impressive advancements, concerns remain about the feasibility and impact of SpaceX's plans for interplanetary Starship fleets.
