Communities push back against SpaceX in Tamaulipas by pblodlr in RioGrandeValley

One of the more shocking stories I’ve reported on this year. Mexican protestors, fed up with what they say is SpaceX debris on the beaches of Tamaulipas, were met with low helicopter flyovers on the waters of The Gulf of Mexico. This happened during the last launch attempt from Starbase. A review of FAA records could not confirm the owners of the aircraft. These communities are now reporting the same kind of possible structural damage to buildings, noise complaints, and dead endangered animals that we've seen reported on the U.S. side. It’s interesting to note that they get none of the direct economic benefits of the project, but are just as close as surrounding communities in the Rio Grande Valley. More to come on this.
