SpaceX has completed its first orbital rocket flight. starship with more information collected on the launch and subsequent explosion of the booster and ship after four minutes of ascent. However, the problem on the ground may be more serious for Elon Musk Company: He catastrophe called in towns near the platform in Texas.

Report from The newspaper “New York Times collects the damage done to the residential area of ​​Port Isabel, with streets covered in dust and broken glass, a product of the launch’s shockwave. Neighbors in the neighborhood told the publication that “it was on a completely different level” than the one causing the tremors.

Neighbors have reported shattered glass in the gym, large pieces of glass flying through the air, and cars hit by a dusty blizzard. “Lumps of concrete the size of bowling balls were thrown out of the launch pad area.” said Louis Balderas, founder of the LabPadre distribution channel.

Authorities in the area have ordered the closure of Boca Chica Beach and part of State Highway 4 from moments after launch until 2 p.m. Friday, April 21 due to “immediate public health concern.”

SpaceX and launch environmental risks

For the past several years, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has been requesting environmental impact studies from SpaceX as part of a protocol established for issuing permits corresponding to the start of aerospace operations in the area. In addition to Texas, SpaceX uses a launch pad in Florida for Crew Dragon missions.

In June 2022, the FAA approved SpaceX’s application following an environmental impact study that found that Musk’s orbital launch plans “won’t have a significant impact” in the area.

How far does rocket debris fly?

The debris generated during rocket launches can vary depending on the rocket type, payload, and launch trajectory. The most common are debris from components that come loose during flight, such as engines and fuel tanks; and debris from the launch pad, such as materials used in the preparation of the rocket and support equipment.

Some debris may fall close to the launch site, while others may be washed away hundreds or even thousands of kilometers away.

The distance between Port Isabel and the SpaceX base in Texas is approximately 10 km, which will take about 50 minutes by car to get from one place to another along a country road around the Brazos-Santiago Pass.

It is important to note that the space industry is committed to minimizing the amount of waste generated during rocket launches and is working to develop technologies for the recovery and reuse of rocket components, thereby reducing the amount of waste generated and reducing the impact on the environment.
