The announcement came from the company's CEO, Elon Musk, who was speaking about the organization's progress. Musk also stated that if the company will complete its orbital flight goals, it will need to be continuously producing new models of the [Starship rocket](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/united-airlines-and-starlink). The Starship is the companies largest rocket, which makes it difficult to produce. SpaceX will also have to decide which launch site it would like to user for the Starship launch, and it will either be located in [Boca Chica, Texas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brownsville-launched) or from the company’s Florida facility.
