"Starbase, Texas, is now a real city," said Elon Musk after a vote decided the future of his SpaceX workplace.

“What’s happening here is incredible,” said Kit Frederic, an Oregon resident who bought a nearby plot of undeveloped land recently, enticed by its proximity to space flight. “Someday every state in the union is going to want something like this.”

Starbase may sound like some sort of galactic outpost located in the far reaches of space, but in fact, it's just the newest city in Texas.
