"At the beginning of the Starship-Super Heavy Launch System's development, it became evident that a deluge water system was necessary to protect the launch site and surrounding areas during launches."
"The deluge water system sprays large quantities of potable water at the base of the spacecraft during launch to prevent fires and reduce dispersal of dust and debris," Judge Olvera wrote in his order.
"Judge Olvera concluded that SpaceX had made a 'good faith mistake' regarding its permits, ruling that the aerospace company must obtain the proper permit for its deluge water system."
"The Texas Commission on Environment Quality (TCEQ) reviewed SpaceX's permit application and concluded that its water deluge system did not cause adverse environmental risks."
