The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has determined that SpaceX\u2019s plans for the company\u2019s massive Starbase launch site in South Texas will have some environmental impact on the surrounding land and area \u2014 but not enough to require a full environmental impact statement. Now, SpaceX will need to make more than 75 changes to its proposal<\/a> for the Starbase facility if the company wants to avoid additional review and eventually receive a license from the FAA to launch its new Starship rocket to orbit from the site.<\/p>\n

SpaceX\u2019s Starbase facility is located in a small town called Boca Chica, Texas, right on the southern tip of Texas along the Rio Grande river and the US-Mexico border. For the last few years, SpaceX has used the site to construct full-scale prototypes of Starship, the company\u2019s next-generation monster rocket designed to take people and cargo to deep-space destinations like the Moon and Mars. SpaceX has already conducted various high-altitude test flights with Starship prototypes from Starbase, but now, the company hopes to actually launch Starship to space for the first time and send the vehicle to orbit.<\/p>\n
