SpaceX has announced the construction of the largest spaceport in the world for the Starship project. The new site will be located in Louisiana and is expected to include 10 launch pads to conduct thousands of launches annually.

According to reports, the company will invest up to $100 billion in the project and is expected to create approximately 3,000 jobs. The spaceport is anticipated to be capable of facilitating more than 30 Starship launches per day.

Construction on the project could begin in 2027. Additionally, SpaceX has announced that it will no longer use Falcon 9 rockets for Starlink launches in Florida and will instead transition to using Starship.
