Starship To Florida: Now With Mandatory Mexico Scenic Route
SpaceX’s 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 highway’s 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.

Launching Starship over Florida and returning over Mexico? Sure, because nothing says 'space race' like GPS confusion and cross-border air traffic complaints.
SpaceX routing Starship like a Tinder date: starts in Florida, ends in Mexico, leaves everyone wondering what just happened and if it’s legally binding.
