SpaceX plans to create a $100 billion rocket launch site in Louisiana, which would support thousands of Starship flights every single year.<\/p>\n
The rocket company plans to build the site in Vermilion Parish, marking the second Starbase campus and fourth SpaceX launch location in the United States, per a report<\/a> from Fox Business.<\/p>\n The site will start construction in 2027 and allow for launches in 2029.<\/p>\n SpaceX CEO Elon Musk predicted in an announcement video that Starbase Louisiana would eventually create \u201cprobably 10,000 really exciting jobs\u201d in the state.<\/p>\n Louisiana Republican Gov.
