What Elon Musk and SpaceX just did is more important to Texas Gov think…
“Thank you, South Texas for your support! This is the gateway to Mars.” That’s the tweet Elon Musk posted on X at the end of 2020.
About ten years ago, perhaps no one believed that one of the most remote areas in the US territory like south Texas could become a “Gateway to Mars” as Musk said.
But as you have seen, in less than a decade, this place has one of the most modern rocket launch facilities in the world. During this time, South Texas, especially Boca Chica and Cameron County, also witnessed incredible changes that perhaps the residents here had never thought of before.
So how has SpaceX changed Texas? What they did is probably more important to the Texas government.
Stay tuned as we dive and more in this episode of Alpha Tech!
SpaceX was founded in 2002 in Hawthorne, California. It is considered the biggest headquarters of SpaceX and also the place that witnessed SpaceX’s development in the early days.
But when the Starship project was disclosed, SpaceX did not choose their headquarters to produce and launch this new rocket. Not California, many people would immediately think of Florida, which has the US’s launch centers with bustling launch activities. Surprisingly, Florida is not SpaceX’s choice. Instead, South Texas was their final decision.
At that time, many people wondered why SpaceX decided to choose one of the most remote areas of the country at that time for such an important project. However, if we analyze more closely, we will understand why Texas was chosen.
The first reason is geographical location. Texas is located at the southern tip of the US, meaning it is the closest area to the equator within the US territory. The closer the areas are to the equator, the greater the earth’s rotation speed. Thus, if SpaceX launches the rocket here, they can take advantage of this rotation and convert it into thrust for the rocket, thereby saving more fuel. This would be perfect for launching a big rocket like Starship. In addition, east of the Texas coast is the Gulf of Mexico and the vast Atlantic Ocean. This will avoid impact on human lives and ensure safety if an incident occurs.

At 1:35 the globe is rotating the wrong direction. What's up with that, Alpha Tech?
Is this the wonderful state that treats women as 2nd class citizens. Why doesn't mr wonderful challenge the values of the reactionary governmentof texas? Of course he won't so long as the tax breaks continue.

Why is your animation showing the planet turning the wrong way?
It's tough to take this channel seriously if it gets something this fundamental wrong.
I’m sure Governor jackass is only trying to help Elon so he will donate to the Republican party.
Good presentation, but both you and WAI need to lose the clickbait titles. They end up being annoying, and you will actually lose followers to the continued use of sensationalized wording used just to gain a follower.
Stop with the clickbait titles!!
I used to enjoy your videos, but they have become very click-bait-ish, especially since SpaceX's progress has slowed due to government bureaucracy and environmental regulatory garbage. I real there's not much new to talk about right now, but baiting readers by rehashing old stories through misleading headlines is getting old.
Democrats are quietly transferring garbage governance into Texas. They control Houston and Austin.
clickbait
Excellent work SpaceX and Texas
Texas needs to somehow "opt out" of the FAA 😛 and other regulatory bodies and put in their own equivalents.
just shows you how inefficient govt agencies are. This would have taken NASA 40 years. then they would start building
Having Gregg Abbott (the Governer of Texas) on the thumbnail that described this episode is deceiving because the episode had little to nothing to do with the Governer of Texas. ALPHA TECH needs to do better, or I will unsubscribe.
Hi TJ. Very informative presentation. But I have a question. Are you a robot? Why am I asking this question? During the entire presentation you did not pause for breath! I'm sure it must be an editing issue. Or are you AI? I was breathless by the end it was like I'd just completed a 7 mile cross-country run. Puff puff.
With your emphasis on ridiculous "MINDBLOWING" titles, I wonder if you're attracting new viewers faster that losing established viewers?
Some time ago I watched most of this channel's videos, but now I only watch maybe one every few weeks. I see that people that hit the "Like" button have dropped down to a low of 5% or so.

Brownsville is a great spot and SpaceX already is established there, but care needs to be taken to fortify against the formidable Gulf hurricanes! (Hurricanes also spin off tornadoes).
US shipbuilding will benefit greatly from the manufacturing expertise and IP that Musk businesses generate! US naval and other shipbuilding are mammoth waste centers, as is military procurement in general. Semisubmersible rigs are designed to be stable in the roughest weather and should be ideal for launching/landing spacecraft, etc.!
What??!! Not shocking?…Now that's mind blowing.
