HOW SAVERGV AND SOCIAL MEDIA DELIVERED A FALSE NARRITIVE IN ADVANCE OF THE REAL STUDIES WHICH GAVE SPACEX THE WIN IN FEDERAL COURT

Federal Judge Olvera's opinion delivering SpaceX its victory was telling for two reasons. First was his superfluous words SpaceX would suffer an irreparable injury if the injunction issued.  Had SaveRGV presented solid evidence of irreparable injury to the environment, any injury to SpaceX would have been meaningless.  It almost sounds like he is setting SpaceX for too big to fail.

Second in someways it is like a judge telling a kid his arm is not broken even though the bone is clearly sticking out.  This is the problem with the medical liability act.  But without an expert report verifying the broken arm there would be no admissible evidence the arm is broken.

This is what happened in the SpaceX case, even though those in the know, know there is overwhelming evidence of a negative environmental impact it was not in the reports.

Something known as the bird count will happen next month.  This should establish clear evidence of an environmental impact. They already know there are a large number of dead birds after each launch.  They also know SpaceX has been good at not launching during large migratory periods.

WHAT DO THEY EXPECT TO FIND DURING THE BIRD COUNT.

Seagulls are birds of opportunity.  Many smaller birds will leave their nests unattended after a launch and seagulls will come in and eat the eggs or the young.  If the number of these birds is down, then we have a problem.  If the overall number of birds is down in a measurable way, SpaceX will have a problem.

As BYU noted with SpaceX the problems are real but may take some time to be verified.  One shaken window may not break, but over 26 launches structural damage will begin to appear. 

SaveRGV used Social Media to put out claims of what they visually saw, but not yet verified in the science.  Judge Olvera was bound by the admissible evidence, and not what people were seeing.

So maybe by March, the data will exist and SaveRGV will get a second bite of the apple. 

ON THE LAND SWAP DEAL, THE PROBEM MAY BE TEXAS PARKS AND WILDLIFE DEPARTMENT ONLY MANAGES THE LAND BUT DOES NOT OWN IT 

Remember Musk has already promised to sell off as much public land as he can.  People familiar with the deal have learned the subject land may belong to the people via the federal government, and Trump can just gift it to SpaceX. The source is good, but the claim is still under investigation.
