# Texas Commuters Stop for SpaceX Rocket
Drivers weren't sharing the road with a cyclist, but a rocket! 😲 A massive space rocket from SpaceX was recently transported on a Texas highway, causing commuters to pull over and stop. A surreal moment captured on video shows the rocket slowly making its way down the road.
Heather Garza, a 31-year-old Amazon warehouse manager, captured the footage near Brownsville, saying, "I was amazed...It was a very awesome sight to see in person."
This sighting comes as SpaceX CEO Elon Musk announces the move of SpaceX and X headquarters from California to Texas. The new HQ, named Starbase, is a company town being built 23 miles from Brownsville, featuring a landing pad & launch facilities.
When asked about the rocket, SpaceX & the Texas Department of Transportation did not respond to media requests for comment.
