Elon Musk and everyone involved in choosing Boca Chica for Starbase, knew or should have known the dangers the location presented. Rocket flights from California and Florida have one thing in common. They have a long journey over the Pacific or Atlantic.
The launch from Boca Chica involves crossing over Florida and a host of Caribbean Islands. It was but for the grace of God, the debris did not hit a commercial airliner, after the capsule exploded.
In law, Musk can no longer claim he did not know. We have an airline pilot describing falling debris close to his plane. Musk is telling the islanders where the debris landed to not pick it up and to call his company.
The FAA needs to permanently close Starbase in Brownsville. Every airline and country involved or potentially involved need to sue SpaceX for an injunction against future flights.
The Trump Administration is crazy if they think they can protect Elon Musk. Now it is an international crisis.
