I drove all the way down to Brownsville to see Starbase back in May while my wife and I were on a long roadtrip. A complete wild hair “why not?” detour.

It’s incredible what SpaceX has built way out there on the tidal flats. There’s only one road that goes out there, and that runs through the site, and it’s a public highway, so unless there’s a road closure anyone can drive out there, even right up to the launch site. It’s very cool.

The activity out there never stops, and they are constantly expanding, but Elon has said he wants to maintain as much public access as possible. One thing’s for sure, you will never get that kind of up close access at Kennedy Space Center.

I’d dearly love to go to a launch. Might try next year.

Boca Chica is a cool place to camp. It has closures when SX is doing launches.
