Live Webcams in Starbase

Starbase sits on the Boca Chica peninsula in Cameron County, Texas, where the Rio Grande meets the Gulf and the United States meets Mexico, and the live webcams in Starbase watch an industrial site unlike any other: the build bays and tank farms of a rocket factory, the launch and catch towers on the sand flats, the highway that closes for tests, and the beach and lagoon around them. Starbase keeps Central Time, UTC−6, UTC−5 in summer, so a test at first light falls in a European afternoon. The site is about 20 miles east of Brownsville on State Highway 4. Summers here are hot and humid and the wind rarely stops; launch days bring spectators onto every dune within sight.
