YouTube Description
as posted by the channelEnvironmental and conservation groups recently filed a federal lawsuit seeking to block a land swap approved by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that would give SpaceX more than 700 acres of a national wildlife refuge in South Texas.
SpaceX has conducted rocket launches for several years from an area known as Starbase, which was formally incorporated as a city in 2025. It is essentially a company town with officials and most voters tied to SpaceX.
"Elon Musk is using our impoverished community as his laboratory to blow up dangerous experimental SpaceX rockets," says Bekah Hinojosa, co-founder of the South Texas Environmental Justice Network, one of the groups that filed the lawsuit.
