Environmental and Safety Concerns Surround SpaceX Rocket Launches
The explosive nature of SpaceX's Starship rocket launch at ground level is drawing heightened scrutiny from the government due to the environmental impact of ramped-up launch operations at the site. The launch sent a cloud of pulverized concrete raining over a small town nearby, raising fresh questions about the environmental impact of the launch. Environmentalists seized on the report as evidence that a more in-depth study of potential hazards to public safety and wildlife should be conducted before further Starship launches are conducted at Boca Chica.
