SpaceX is set to acquire 130,000 acres of marshland in southern Louisiana
Summary
SpaceX is near finalizing a deal to acquire about 130,000 acres of marshland along the northern Gulf coast of Louisiana, potentially creating a new launch site with coastal restoration provisions. The move would expand launch-site options for Starship, leveraging nearby gas infrastructure for propellant and access to deep-water routes, but raises environmental and community concerns.
