This allows Starbase officials to shut down State Highway 4 and Boca Chica Beach during launches or tests, shifting that power away from county authorities to city commissioners closely tied to SpaceX texastribune.org texastribune.org. Local activists and indigenous groups opposed the bill, arguing it would curtail public beach access and benefit “the people in the company town” over the general public texastribune.org texastribune.org.

SpaceX continues its rapid launch cadence in 2025, frequently launching Falcon 9 rockets from both coasts. Multiple Starlink missions are deploying dozens of internet satellites at a time,
