ESA launches from French Guiana which has the launce site that sits closest to the equator.

1 u/RoIIUpLights 4d ago Brownsville You mean Starbase, TX? 🙄 1 u/RT-LAMP 4d ago I mean it's literally not in Brownsville. The area was originally named Boca Chica. Saying they launch from Brownsville is like saying Launches from Kennedy are launching from Titusville. 1 u/RoIIUpLights 4d ago I know that's why I said it -- The eyeroll is the fact that Elon bought it and named it Starbase, not the fact that it exists 1 u/RT-LAMP 4d ago No what I meant was to clarify that Brownsville still exists. What got renamed to Starbase and incorporated as a city was Boca Chica which had been a smaller unincorporated community to the east of Brownsville.
