The home of Elon Musk's SpaceX rocket company is on its way to becoming an official Texas city with a galactic name: Starbase.

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.

Elon Musk now holds greater power over the area where SpaceX launches its rockets, expanding the company’s ability to control local planning and taxation.
