SpaceX pitches Louisiana spaceport

SpaceX made official plans for a Louisiana launch complex billed as the world’s largest spaceport, with a headline cost of $100 billion and a target of up to 10,000 jobs by 2029. The proposed site is designed around Starship, with claims that it could eventually support thousands of launches per year. That would be a radical shift from today’s cadence, turning orbital launch into something closer to industrial logistics. The scale also raises execution questions: environmental approvals, local infrastructure, workforce housing and range safety will determine whether Elon Musk’s plan becomes a transportation platform or another megaproject bottleneck.
