Abstract: In this article, I ask whose bodies are disciplined, silenced and displaced to make way for the interplanetary utopia of Starbase, the launchpad of SpaceX in Boca Chica, Texas. Its location in the borderlands speaks of a troubled legacy which mobilises the home as a symbolic ordering of bodies that excludes the racial other. Against the mythologising of Starbase, and its symbolic and material destruction of the past of the site, I write Boca Chica through a description of Elon Musk’s home at the site, suggesting its interior as a performance of geek cultures and hegemonic masculinities. It is this performance, I argue, that shows the continuities of a historical settler-colonial project on the site, starting with the establishment of Clarkesville shortly after the Mexican-American war, with modern colonialism embedded in the techno-utopias of Silicon Valley.
