SpaceX Plans $100 Billion Second Starship Spaceport in Louisiana

SpaceX will spend $100 billion on a second Starship spaceport in Vermilion Parish, Louisiana, beginning construction in 2027. Starship has completed 13 test flights since 2023 but has yet to land both its booster and upper stage intact on a single flight. Worth flagging: the commitment assumes SpaceX clears those remaining technical hurdles on schedule.
