SpaceX is reportedly planning to construct an 8-mile natural gas pipeline to its Starbase launch facility in Texas. The pipeline, named "Starpipe," is intended to expedite the fueling process for its Starship rockets, with construction slated to begin next month and operations expected by January 26th. This initiative aims to increase launch frequency by directly supplying fuel for liquefaction on-site, though it has also raised environmental concerns regarding the impact on local wetland habitats.
