Big futures start close to home.
Congrats to 11 outstanding @BrownsvilleISD and @PointIsabelISD students who earned scholarships from @SpaceX.
Today, a few recipients got a behind-the-scenes look at Starbase, met the SpaceX team, and experienced the innovation happening right here in our community.

Happy 1st Birthday, Starbase.
One year ago today, Starbase officially became a city. In that time, we’ve hosted multiple Starship flight tests, grown our community of people building the future of spaceflight, and worked to protect our beaches and natural resources for generations to come.
Next year will be even bigger. More launches. More progress. And we’re just getting started!
Thank you to everyone who has been part of Starbase’s first year as a city.

The road to making life multiplanetary starts right here in Starbase.
Three years since the first flight of Starship, the next generation is here. New ship. New booster. New engines. New pad and new test site. SpaceX engineers are working to solve one of the most difficult engineering challenges in history: developing a fully, rapidly reusable rocket

Coastal resilience takes teamwork. We appreciate @TXGLO and Commissioner Dawn Buckingham for their continued support of beach restoration projects in Starbase.
Feb 24
Commissioner Buckingham made some major announcements today at check presentations in Corpus Christi and Brownsville!
The @TXGLO has awarded 14 coastal counties with approximately $84.6 million for improvement projects through its Coastal Management Program (CMP) Grant Cycle 31 and Coastal Erosion Planning and Response Act (CEPRA) program Cycle 14.
“I am honored to bring this much-needed funding to our coastal communities for these beneficial projects.
By dedicating this crucial assistance to these impactful projects, the GLO is ensuring our Texas coast will continue to thrive and remain resilient for generations to come." - Commissioner Buckingham

An inside look at what's happening at Starbase
I see so much negativity about the future so I thought it’d be fun to showcase the positive things that could fundamentally change humanity for the better in our new video :D
