What’s with the sudden SpaceX hate? They launching a hundred times more than any other space company. It’s literally impossible to contain all the damage.

I mean Texas is trashing Texas… SpaceX is just joining in the fun.

Good thing Texans don’t believe in protecting the environment

Why do you think they moved there from California. California won’t let them destroy the state.

The move just increases the number of liberals in TX. Can’t wait to see the state races go to Dems.

Let’s trash the only life-sustaining biosphere we have so we can achieve putting man on a cold, barren lifeless planet. Yup. Sounds reasonable.

The Cards Against Humanity group is also suing them for trespassing and leaving a bunch of crap on their land. SpaceX with Muskrat at the helm will trash bc anything around them without any regard for anything else. https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/09/23/business/cards-against-humanity-musk-texas-land

Then maybe Texas should regulate it OH WAIT

Nobody trashes Texas more than Texans. Why do you think Elon moved there in the first place?

The company is trying to move humanity forward… stop crying like little selfish children. Pussies

I’ll worry about spacex when Texas starts worrying about the Petrochemical industry in Houston and along the coast.
Drop in the bucket compared to what all of the refineries and chemical plants are doing.

Title: “*Environmentalists Say* SpaceX is trashing Texas!”
Article: ‘some experts are concerned that there is a possibility future tests could find zinc or chromium contamination in the cooling water. They haven’t found appreciable contamination yet, but they might in the future!’
At least the anti-Starlink contingent has actual grievances. This is much worse, just primitivism in a suit. They literally have people combing wetlands for scuffed wild eggs and then saying, ‘hey, this is pretty close to the SpaceX site, maybe they’re responsible!’ Yes, eggs, those famously robust objects that could only be damaged by a rocket launch.

Boca Chica beach has become much cleaner since SpaceX moved in.

Texas leaders will happily let them turn this state into a dumpster for the right price.

Space travel is one that the environmentalists can fuck off on honestly. The upside far outweighs some dead fish or dirty soil.

Why would Texans give a shit about the environment?

Normally I would be opposed to trashing any place. I’m also opposed to anything that benefits mirror-universe Elmo.
With all that said, they couldn’t have picked a better place to trash.

It’s already trash.

If Reddit had it’s way, humanity would never get to mars and we’d all be huffing combustion fumes for the rest of our lives.

So now the left opposes space exploration, because Musk’s SpaceX is leading the top pioneer in the field

Stand in line. Texas hand out free passes to trash the state, with a contribution.

Wow, that sounds like a very expensive endeavor. That should send SpaceX’s stock soaring. I wonder who would benefit most of all from that.

All to go colonize a radioactive wasteland? Just stay in texas a few more decades….

NPR is not a credible news source. It has an agenda and likes to target Musk.

They’re also stealing land

This is about as remote a place and if you’ve ever been to the Texas gulf coast you’d realize it basically the most industrialized petroleum chemical complex in the world. If you can’t do this here then where else? These people are hurting American interests and probably get paid by China

I’ll start working about the environment in Texas, when Texas starts worrying about the environment in Texas.

Highly doubt SpaceX are capable of getting there at this point, so as well as all the destruction, it will all be pointless.
