Comment on NASA is about to make its most important safety decision in nearly a generation
Thunderbird4@lemmy.world 3 months agoSo I’ve read.
They still blew up their launch pad and [showered a protected wildlife area](https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/spacex-explosion-launch-debris/) with particulate, metal, and concrete debris.
They then built and operated their water deluge system without obtaining permits.
Typo or no, they’re still taking a fast and loose, “better to ask forgiveness than permission” approach that is a detriment to a protected natural environment. They intend to test the limits of the Texas government’s ability to show disdain for the environment in favor of private enterprise.

I agree, I’m just saying this story in particular is untrue. That, obviously, doesn’t excuse all the other things they actually did.
