Starbase Louisiana merch, and who owns it

Rocket Gumbo writes original Starbase Louisiana merchandise and the words on this site. This page says who holds those rights, what a shirt purchase is, and what it is not. It is not a SpaceX page.

The name on the door

Rocket Gumbo is a Louisiana sole proprietorship of Michael T Hebert. The trade name is ROCKET GUMBO. © 2026 Rocket Gumbo. All rights reserved.

This site is rocketgumbo.com. We write about Starbase Louisiana at Freshwater City, Vermilion Parish, near Pecan Island. The merchandise sold on the Rocket Gumbo store is original work about that place.

The merchandise

This design is original work owned by Rocket Gumbo and may not be reproduced.

That line applies to every Rocket Gumbo shirt, print, sticker, and digital good we publish. You buy the physical item. You do not buy the artwork. You do not get a license to reprint it on more shirts, posters, stickers, or files.

Rocket Gumbo owns the original merch artwork and designs created for this Starbase Louisiana merchandise site.

The site itself

Rocket Gumbo also owns the original site design and the written copy created for Rocket Gumbo and this Starbase Louisiana merchandise site. The layout, the headings, and the sentences we wrote are ours.

Marks and news we do not own

SpaceX, Starship, Super Heavy, and Starbase are marks of Space Exploration Technologies Corp. They are not ours. We use those names only to talk about the announced project in Vermilion Parish.

News facts belong to the publishers who reported them. Headlines on this site link out. We do not claim those stories.

Rocket Gumbo is independent. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by SpaceX, Vermilion Parish, or the State of Louisiana.
