Starship To Florida: Now With Mandatory Mexico Scenic Route
SpaceXâs Starship, the spacecraft famous for looking like a shiny soda can that dreams big, is plotting a new route: blast off from Florida, casually sashay over the Gulf, then barrel roll back over Mexico. No spacecraft traffic jams expected yet, but crossing international borders mid-flight? Bold move, Elon. Details on timing and dollar amounts are about as scarce as a sober SpaceX engineer. Meanwhile, the space highwayâs latest edition sounds like a budget airline rerouting passengers to extended layovers on terra firma. At least this plan spares us another wait for the Martian Uber.
