At an exclusive invitation only "post-launch coffee talk" event on Tuesday Dec. 12 in Boca Chica, Texas, Starbase's General Manager, Kathy Lueders, revealed SpaceX's ambitions for the coming year.

The Boca Chica Base is set to become the primary hub for manufacturing, launching, and operations for SpaceX's Starship, according to Lueders. Despite setbacks, including explosive test launches, Lueders expressed excitement about Starbase's transformative role within SpaceX.

The facility, currently employing over 2,100 people, plays a crucial role in SpaceX's mission to Mars. Ongoing investigations into test launch incidents and concerns from local organizations add complexity to SpaceX's plans.
