SpaceX's Super Heavy rocket launches in Boca Chica generate intense noise and environmental disruption, alarming local residents and affecting wildlife. Reports highlight complaints about loud sound waves and habitat destruction attributed to rocket activities. Local environmental activists, including those from Save RGV, argue that the ecological balance has been severely altered, with wildlife severely diminished in the area. As the community considers incorporating Starbase as a new municipality, fears about increasing environmental damages coincide with local support for the rocket company, complicating the conversation surrounding future development and conservation efforts.
At peak volume, it's as loud as a gunshot, even though it's 73 football fields away.
It's a dead zone now. It's the saddest thing, since it was a very underappreciated area. There is nothing there now, it's just brown and dead.
Advocates like Branch and local environmental groups fear damage could increase when Starbase becomes not just a company facility and launch siteâbut its own town.
SpaceX has previously denied the accuracy of these environmental claims.
