Wildlife and environmental groups are suing the FAA over SpaceX’s launch last month of its giant rocket from South Texas.
SpaceX’s Starship soared 24 miles high before exploding over the Gulf of Mexico on April 20. The rocket’s self-destruct system caused the nearly 400-foot rocket to blow up, as it spun out of control just minutes into the test flight.
No injuries or significant damage to public property were reported from any of the rocket wreckage or flying pad debris. A large crater was carved into the concrete pad, as most of the rocket's 33 main engines ignited at liftoff. It was the first launch of a full-size Starship, with the sci-fi-looking spacecraft on top the huge booster rocket. The company plans to use it to send people and cargo to the moon and, ultimately, Mars. NASA wants to use Starship to ferry astronauts to the lunar surface as soon as 2025.
