Starbase Louisiana Hub

SpaceX announced Starbase Louisiana on August 25, 2026: a roughly $100 billion Starship launch and production facility on Pecan Island in Vermilion Parish, described as the company's fourth and largest launch site. Within hours, people were searching for where it is, when launches start, whether they can visit and who is hiring.

This site exists to answer those questions in one place: an events calendar, flight information, a practical visitor guide, dated news, an FAQ and merch, plus a notification list so you hear about real developments without refreshing news sites.

How we handle information

  • Confirmed vs. expected. Anything not officially announced is labeled. We would rather say “not announced” than guess.
  • Dated and sourced. News posts carry a publication date and a link to the primary source.
  • Corrections. When something changes, the post is updated rather than quietly deleted.
  • Local first. Vermilion Parish residents live here, and road closures, wetlands, hearings and jobs matter as much as launch photos.
