Elon Musk-led SpaceX has purchased two former oil rigs off Texas' coast to convert them into spaceports for launching its Starship rockets, reported NASASpaceflight. Both rigs have been officially renamed as Deimos and Phobos, which are the names of Mars' moons. In June 2020, Musk tweeted about building floating spaceports for "Mars, the Moon & hypersonic travel around Earth".
