SpaceX's South Texas rocket facility has been officially incorporated as the city of Starbase after residents overwhelmingly approved the measure in a local vote held this Saturday. The newly formed city, located near the Mexico border, will oversee an area of about 1.5 square miles where SpaceX conducts rocket launches and tests for its NASA and Defense Department contracts, including missions aimed at returning astronauts to the moon and eventually reaching Mars.
