Elon Musk's SpaceX Wants To Turn Its Starbase Site Into A City
The company also said that incorporating Starbase as a city will streamline the processes required to build the amenities necessary to make the area a "world-class place" to live for the people already there as well as future employees of the company.Elon Musk's rocket manufacturing company SpaceX is now looking to turn its site in Starbase, Texas, into a new city.
埃隆·馬斯克的火箭製造公司SpaceX(臨時代碼)正在考慮將其位於德克薩斯州Starbase的場地轉變爲一個新城市。
What Happened: Starbase General Manager Kathryn Lueders on Thursday submitted a letter to Cameron County Judge Eddie Trevino, Jr. requesting an election to determine whether Starbase should be incorporated as a city.
發生了什麼：Starbase總經理凱瑟琳·呂德斯週四向卡梅倫縣法官埃迪·特雷維諾提交了一封信，請求進行選舉以判斷Starbase是否應該作爲城市註冊。
"To continue growing the workforce necessary to rapidly develop and manufacture Starship, we need the ability to grow Starbase as a community. That is why we are requesting that Cameron County call an election to enable the incorporation of Starbase as the newest city in the Rio Grande Valley," SpaceX wrote in its letter.
「爲了繼續增長快速開發和製造星際飛船所需的勞動力，我們需要將Starbase發展爲一個社區的能力。這就是我們請求卡梅倫縣進行選舉，以便將Starbase納入作爲里奧·格蘭德山谷最新城市的原因，」SpaceX在信中寫道。
The company also said that incorporating Starbase as a city will streamline the processes required to build the amenities necessary to make the area a "world-class place" to live for the people already there as well as future employees of the company.
公司還表示，將Starbase作爲城市納入將簡化建設必要設施的流程，以使該地區成爲一個「世界級的居住地」，既適合已有居民，也適合公司的未來員工。
"SpaceX HQ will now officially be in the city of Starbase, Texas!," Musk announced on social media platform X, formerly Twitter, upon reposting Lueders' letter.
「SpaceX總部現在正式位於德克薩斯州Starbase市！」馬斯克在社交媒體平台X（前身爲推特）上宣佈，並轉發了呂德斯的信件。
SpaceX HQ will now officially be in the city of Starbase, Texas!

SpaceX總部現在正式位於德克薩斯州Starbase市！
— 埃隆·馬斯克(@elonmusk) 2024年12月13日
Why It Matters: SpaceX, on its website, currently lists its headquarters as Hawthorne, California, where it produces its Falcon 9 workhorse.
爲什麼這很重要：在其網站上，SpaceX目前將其總部列爲加利福尼亞州霍索恩，在那裏生產Falcon 9工作馬。
In July, Musk said he would move the headquarters of SpaceX from Hawthorne to Starbase. The company does all operations surrounding its ambitious Starship launch vehicle in Starbase, Texas, including its manufacturing and testing.
在七月，馬斯克表示他將把SpaceX的總部從霍索恩遷至星際基地。該公司在德克薩斯州的星際基地進行所有與其雄心勃勃的星際飛船運載火箭相關的操作，包括製造和測試。
Musk moved the headquarters of his EV company Tesla from California to Austin in 2021 citing disagreements with state policies. The billionaire himself also relocated to Texas that year.
馬斯克在2021年因與州政策存在分歧，將他的電動車公司特斯拉的總部從加利福尼亞遷至奧斯汀。這位億萬富翁當年也遷到了德克薩斯。
While California has a history of supporting Democratic candidates, Texas is a republican stronghold. Musk is now aligning himself with the Republican party with the help of a newly forged relationship with President-elect Donald Trump.
雖然加利福尼亞州支持民主黨候選人，但德克薩斯州是一個共和黨的堅固堡壘。馬斯克現在正在與總統當選人特朗普建立新關係，以此與共和黨結盟。
