The Federal Aviation Administration is being sued by wildlife and environmental groups over SpaceX's launch of its giant rocket from Texas

The FAA declined comment, noting it doesn't comment on ongoing litigation. The agency is overseeing the accident investigation and has ordered all SpaceX Starships grounded until it's certain that public safety will not be compromised. The launch pad is on a remote site on the southernmost tip of Texas, just below South Padre Island, and about 20 miles from Brownsville.
Joining the Center for Biological Diversity in the lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Washington, are the American Bird Conservancy, Surfrider Foundation, Save RGV and the Carrizo/Comecrudo Nation of Texas. “To the best of our knowledge there has not been any meaningful damage to the environment that we’re aware of,” Musk said.

The lawsuit was filed Monday in federal court in Washington. SpaceX's Starship soared 24 miles high before exploding over the Gulf of Mexico over a week ago. The rocket's self-destruct system caused the nearly 400-foot rocket to blow up, as it spun out of control. The groups say the FAA failed to fully consider the environmental impacts of the Starship program near Brownsville, Texas. The FAA declined comment on the lawsuit.
