Eddie Treviño, Jr. County Judge For Immediate Release December 13, 2024 Contact: Eddie Treviño, Jr. Cameron County Judge On Thursday, December 12, 2024, Cameron County received a petition from SpaceX requesting an election to incorporate Starbase as a Type-C Municipality. The County will review the petition for completeness and compliance with the statutory requirements for incorporation. Once the review has been completed for compliance with the statutory requirements, Texas law requires the call for an election for incorporation of Starbase. The registered voters in the proposed Starbase area will have an opportunity to vote on whether to incorporate as Starbase, Texas. Once an election is concluded and the canvassing confirmed, the Cameron County Commissioners Court will confirm and ratify the election.

I am honored to receive President Trump’s @realDonaldTrump nomination to serve as the next Administrator of NASA. Having been fortunate to see our amazing planet from space, I am passionate about America leading the most incredible adventure in human history. On my last mission to space, my crew and I traveled farther from Earth than anyone in over half a century. I can confidently say this second space age has only just begun. Space holds unparalleled potential for breakthroughs in manufacturing, biotechnology, mining, and perhaps even pathways to new sources of energy. There will inevitably be a thriving space economy—one that will create opportunities for countless people to live and work in space. At NASA, we will passionately pursue these possibilities and usher in an era where humanity becomes a true spacefaring civilization.
“Straighten Our Stripes” by Alan Bean The painting shows an astronaut on the surface of the moon straightening an American flag. The flag dominates the background, and its reflection is visible in the astronaut’s gold-tinted helmet visor.

The interior of the Apollo 12 Command Module, focusing on a square window. The window is covered with many thin white streaks that extend vertically across its surface. A red seal surrounds the window, and parts of the spacecraft’s interior are visible around the edges of the image.

A graphic depicting the popularity of car colors over the years.
The image shows a tall, white rocket standing vertically on a platform near a coastal waterfront. The rocket, labeled “RS1,” has a checkered pattern near the top and appears to be on a mobile launch stand with various support equipment around it. Behind the rocket, a vast expanse of blue ocean stretches out, with a few ships visible in the distance. The scene takes place on a bright, clear day, and the sunlight reflects off the water, giving it a sparkling effect. The setup seems to be located at a port or launch site, with some industrial structures and containers nearby.
A dark, circular shape, resembling a planet or moon, dominates the upper center of the image, surrounded by a hazy, light aura that gives it a glowing effect against the backdrop. The atmosphere around this shape is misty and textured, with subtle shading that creates a sense of depth and mystery. Below, brushstrokes and shadowy textures suggest the form of tall grass or dark foliage, reaching upward and blending into the overall shadowy landscape. The composition has a moody, almost otherworldly vibe, evoking themes of space.

R1, a robotic humanoid developed by NASA in collaboration with DARPA. R1 is outfitted in a white suit displaying the NASA and DARPA logos prominently on its chest. It has a metallic gold helmet with a reflective visor that reveals two camera-like “eyes,” giving the robot a distinct face. Its arms and hands are human-shaped, with one hand gripping a hook and the other holding a separate yellow tool.
