Today, SpaceX released a new promotional video, "Gateway to Mars," which will be the spaceport where interstellar travel begins.
SpaceX is building a starship base in Boca Chica, South Texas, to mars, dedicated to making humans a multi-planet species.

On October 23, Musk said in his comments that if it can successfully obtain the approval of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), SpaceX will prepare to conduct the first orbital flight of the starship SN20 next month.

SpaceX launches a starship at the Boca Chica launch site, requiring permission from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
The FAA is primarily concerned with four issues: public safety issues (e.g., rocket overpopulation over densely populated areas and payload content); second: national security fires; third: insurance requirements for launch operators; and four: potential environmental impacts.
Elon Musk's mother, Meyer Musk, left a message for the FAA to support SpaceX's starship base in Boca Chica.
