SpaceX wants to go to Mars. To get there, environmentalists say it's trashing Texas
Briefly

Elon Musk proposed that SpaceX's Starship could deliver immense cargo to Mars to establish a self-sustaining colony, serving as humanity's backup plan in case of Earth’s catastrophe.
Despite Musk's vision of using Starship as 'life's stewards', environmental advocates argue SpaceX has disregarded wildlife protections, violating environmental regulations and harming the local ecosystem.
State and federal reviews indicated that SpaceX has discharged industrial wastewater during launches, leading regulators to impose over $150,000 in fines for violations of the Clean Water Act.
Environmentalists emphasize that SpaceX's rapid pursuit of Musk’s vision has real consequences, potentially disrupting wildlife and the surrounding ecosystem of their launch site in Texas.
