How hasn’t the FAA shut down SpaceX at Boca Chica yet? The site is built on and surrounded by nature preserves that are home to many threatened and endangered species including the Ocelot, Gulf Coast jaguarundi, Northern aplomado falcon, Piping plover, and the many endangered sea turtles that use the beach for their nesting grounds. It clearly threatens a rich natural environment and SpaceX has already been responsible for causing a 100 acre wildfire in the area. The activities by SpaceX are devastating for the local wildlife. Also, Musk has already violated agreements it has made with regulators and the State of Texas. Common Sense Skeptic made an excellent video on this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BavKuMDed0
Now, the FAA is doing an environmental assessment for exactly this reason and invites you, the public, to comment and voice your concerns. These poor animals and critters don’t have a voice and can’t stand up for themselves against the desires of this raving megalomaniac billionaire. So until November 1st, you can send your complaints to [email protected] and hopefully get the FAA do its job and shut these motherfuckers down.

Haha, looks like humans win again. -

I hope you die in a grease fire you piece of human waste. If you want to concern yourself with environmental damage, there are better issues to get behind than a few acres of land on a coastline that is literally hundreds of miles long. Get bonked, scrotebrain.
>inb4 muskrat
No, you obviously don’t give a fuck about the environment and just hate Musk. If you actually did care you’d be concerning yourself with ongoing large scale strip mining and clearcutting projects, affecting literally tens of thousands of acres and untold number of plant and animal life. Again, get bonked.-
>I hope you die in a grease fire
Sorry I don’t drive a Tesla
>there are better issues to get behind than a few acres of land on a coastline that is literally hundreds of miles long
Nice whataboutism. I guess the government environmental agencies tasked with protecting those environments should surrender that land and leave the fate of its animals to Musk’s benevolent hands.
>you obviously don’t give a fuck about the environment and just hate Musk
No I do which is why I’m sending a lengthy formal complaint to the FAA that this wildlife needs to be protected which means kicking SpaceX out of the area and encourage everyone else to do so as well. I love nature and humans are part of the biosphere. We depend on the environment and with our great power comes responsibility and a duty to do what we can to care for life on Earth, especially protecting the vulnerable and defenseless from senseless harm. This will also send a strong message to Musk that contrary to what he mihght believe, he is not all-powerful, above the law, and allowed to do whatever he wants.
>If you actually did care you’d be concerning yourself with ongoing large scale strip mining and clearcutting projects, affecting literally tens of thousands of acres and untold number of plant and animal life.
>Bro, there are some farmers in a tropical nation clearcutting rich biodiverse jungle so Musk should be allowed to blast these beautiful animals into extinction
Sorry, that’s not how it works sweetie.-

Shouldn’t it be the EPA, not the FAA looking into these issues? Also, have you seen what surrounds Cape Canaveral’s launch facilities? Yep, environmentally protected wetlands.

the piece of legislation at play is called NEPA and concerns two documents called Environmental Impact Assessment and Environmental Impact Statement
NEPA means that any time a government body undertakes a major action they need to disclose what the effects are on the environment (mostly this means the human environment, ie the effect on roads and infrastructure and people living in the area)
The FAA issuing Launch Permits (I think it’s permits, it’s one for each launch) requires an assessment to be finalized before each one. There are three outcomes for the assessment:
1. a FONSI (Finding Of No Significant Impact): this is what SpaceX want and are probably going to get because it means they don’t need to do any more paperwork and just get to launching
2. a mitigated FONSI: this is like #1 except that somebody got payed off or something idk how it works, it’s almost exactly the same as #1
3. a significant impact, which means they need to do a bunch of paperwork which will take a few years, called the Environmental Impact Statement
it’s boring paperwork bullshit that impact nothing and won’t even stop SpaceX, just slow them down

The continental United States has 2 Billion acres of land smoothbrain. Texas alone is 270 000 square miles large. SpaceX’s operations represent such an infintesimily small fraction of environmental damage in the states that your entire position is just completely ridiculous. Get some perspective. I wouldn’t say we need to protect the environment then dedicate myself to the ant colonies in my backyard. You’re absolutely ridiculous, get help.

>The continental United States has 2 Billion acres of land smoothbrain. Texas alone is 270 000 square miles large.
Brilliant idea. Just have the Ocelots that are on the brink of extinction pack up and move to Yosemite National Park. The turtles can fuck off to New York or something I’m sure they’ll figure it out.I guess you don’t understand what endangered means dumbfuck. These species are at a position where they are very vulnerable to habitat loss, displacement, and Musk killing them with his rockets. These aren’t freaking pigeons we’re talking about. And they certainly aren’t "ant colonies" you ass clown.
Fact of the matter is multiple agencies are tasked with protecting this wildlife and you are suggesting corruption where these agencies turn a blind eye because some billionaire piece of trash wants his own private rocket test firing range. As far as I’m concerned Musk and SpaceX can go pound sand and shove their rockets up their collective ass.

Completely missing the point scrote. Show me some proof that the habitat for these animals is contained solely within the few acre property size for the Boca Chica project. You can’t obviously because the coastline stretches for hundreds of miles. Unless you’re seriously suggesting that the entire turtle population nests on the single stretch of beach by the rocket stands.
-
Motherfucker, you are implying you need 100% habitat loss for a species to become at serious risk of extinction when that simply isn’t true. It’s not only about habitat loss but also habitat fragmentation where animals are cut off from the rest of their habitat due to artificial barriers. You can see this with highways that devastate animal populations despite removing only a small fraction of the habitat which is why tunnels are made in an effort to help the animals traverse this deadly barrier. It’s even worse when you realize this SpaceX facility sits smack dab in the middle of a major highway for the millions of migratory birds and insects that cross through this point every year. The ocelots in Texas are now limited to that small southern tip of Texas where Musk has his rocket facility. It’s estimated that there are only 50 of these cats left which is more than half of the total population left in the US. This ocelot population has already had inbreeding documented which further devastates the survival ability of the population. The Lower Rio Grande Valley is incredibly biodiverse and home to many species that are endemic to this area. 95% of the natural vegetation in this area has already been cleared due to development and agriculture. SpaceX has been a major setback for the conservation efforts that have already been made. It’s not just exploding rockets landing on protected land spewing toxic chemicals all over and wildfires reeking havoc but the deafening 140 dB sounds from the rocket launches which if doesn’t immediately give permanent loss of hearing or severe brain damage to any unfortunate nearby birds will cause them to abandon the area as the sound can be heard for many miles away. Remember, Musk wants to launch many Starships every day because of commercialization. Also, the increased traffic to the area will further fragment endangered animals, cause more vehicular injury and death, and encroachment on those critical sea turtle nests.

Your impotent rage is amusing but ultimately you’re simply pissing in a hurricane. Bezos won’t get his wish and the wildlife will be fine. Time to come up with a new tactic, this one is played out and was a hail mary shot anyway.

Oh? It’s not at risk of extinction? Fuck you owned me. So you better go tell the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department that they have mistakenly listed the Leopardus pardalis albescens, that can only be found in the Lower Rio Grande Valley and whose numbers are around 50, as endangered and that they should change their status to least concern and to cease their conservation efforts immediately and to scrap their 200 page document outlining their continued recovery plan for this ocelot that has been ongoing for over 30 years now.https://tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/wild/species/ocelot/
https://www.fws.gov/southwest/es/arizona/Documents/SpeciesDocs/Ocelot/Ocelot_Final_Recovery_Plan_Signed_July_2016_new.pdfBesides, the vaporware salesman needs to launch more starlink satellites into LEO to get his shitty internet service to work so the existence of these beautiful animals and the pristine nature of this beautiful area at the mouth of the majestic Rio Grande will just have to be sacrificed I guess.
-
>pristine nature of this beautiful area
Will be retained, just like it is at the Kennedy Launch CenterBut everyone knows your real concern is not the environment nor the wildlife or even Texas, just that Musk doesn’t get his way because you have some kind of irrational obsessional hatred against him.
-
>Will be retained, just like it is at the Kennedy Launch Center
Dude you can see the SpaceX facility from miles away. It’s a freaking eyesore and you don’t want to hear deafening rocket launches every two hours while hiking the area and neither will nesting birds and other animals who have been scared away from the area if the loud machinery didn’t do it already. And the Kennedy Space Center isn’t planning to drill for oil and build a plant to process it into fuel on top of a natural reserve either. Plus the thousands of SpaceX employees that have to drive in and out from work and muskscrotes will increase collisions with wildlife. Turtle eggs and bird eggs will also violently shake and die off en masse from the vibrations of rockets and machinery. It freaking baffles me as this level of environmental disregard would be expected from from a struggling developing country, not the United States. -
OP continues to ignore every point presented while further presenting outright fabrications inconsistent with said facts presented here:
Again were talking about literally a few acre size property anon.
>95% of the natural vegetation in this area has already been cleared due to development and agriculture
Okay great now you finally get it. The scope of both activities eclipses the Starbase project to such a degree that you’re position is just so obviously ridiculous. It’s obviously what you should be railing against which again is large scale clearcutting affecting tens of thousands of acres across the state and countless plant and animal life. Not a few acre property for the Starbase project. Your position is just completely ridiculous. Even moreover when you suggest Ocelots are at risk of extinction over this apparent Texan population, which you haven’t provided sources for, located singularity on the few acre stretch of beach in front of the rocket stands. As this anon[…] shows you’re a ducking idiot. You also haven’t provided any sources to suggest that turtle species are threatened specifically due to again the few acres of beach that house the rocket stands.

Hi there,
I tried to get to the article referring to this wildfire.
But all I got was a pop-up of Businessinsider wanting me to subscribe.So the only real news I could find was:
https://www.space.com/37028-spacex-rocket-test-wildfire-photos.htmlQuote: Firefighters dump water on a small wildfire at Florida’s Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge ignited by a SpaceX rocket test at neighboring Kennedy Space Center. The fire was quickly contained, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service officials said. (Image credit: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service via Twitter)
What I also can find is how Space-X is actually helping firefighters through Starlink satellites.
So all in all, the claim smells like bullshit and you have some personal ax to grind with the company because of reasons.
Prove me wrong.-
Here is a video of the devastating fire caused by SpaceX:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTyvYCToMi0But of course you’re not going to see the media comment on this whatsoever because they are corrupt just like the billionaire they shamelessly cover for. They are worthless at their jobs and deserve nothing more than contempt and disgust. At this point the mainstream media merely serves as an outlet for PSYOP where the government and elite can spew endless propaganda and garbage to the credulous public. And don’t get me started on search engines, which again in a shameful manner, heavily censor results from explicit search queries that would make the most tyrannical-minded individuals blush. Anything that exposes Musk gets buried while anything that promotes Musk gets pushed to the top of the search results. Sometimes these search engines will actively fight you and simply hide content. And obviously this isn’t just with Musk, it happens with many topics I just used Musk as an example.
>Quote: Firefighters dump water on a small wildfire at Florida’s Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge ignited by a SpaceX rocket test at neighboring Kennedy Space Center.

Wow I hadn’t even heard of this wildfire, thanks for bringing it up. SpaceX rockets seem to be particularly damaging to the environment.>What I also can find is how Space-X is actually helping firefighters through Starlink satellites.
>Satellite providers never existed before Starlink
No, they’re just morons.>So all in all, the claim smells like bullshit and you have some personal ax to grind with the company because of reasons.
>Prove me wrong.
Watch the video. It happened. Just because the media and search engines are heavily censoring information doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.-
>>Satellite providers never existed before Starlink
>No, they’re just morons.
So you didn’t read the article.
Great.Moving on.
You say 100 acres burned down.
By who’s estimate?So what action did you take after 2011 when 4500 acres burned down???
Did you do anything to assist the community do ANYTHING to prevent widespread fires? Such as making firebreaks annually?Finally lets get to the good old core of the problem.
1. What do you want Spacex to do?
I suspect you want Spacex to stop all testing and operations forever and ever right?2. Who do you represent? Really.

Yes, the environment should be preserved to the extent we can, and stewarded wellThey cut down thousands of trees and displace even more than what’s happening here to build industral areas or whatever in major cities and nobody gave a fuck for hundreds of years, SpaceX is operating with the explicit goal of progressing us beyond Earth as a species, it’s worth a few sacrifices.
-
The overall human environment, yes.
The environment of a circle a few miles diameter around some nowhere part of Texas, fuck you. Seriously; use a Texan cactus for that act upon yourself.-
>nowhere part of Texas
Except that’s the thing anon, this isn’t Nowhere, Texas. This is one of the most biologically diverse areas in all of North America. They couldn’t have chosen a worse spot to put their rocket and oil facility. We owe it to ourselves and to the wildlife inhabitants to cherish and protect this area at all costs. Which is what government and environmental agencies have been trying to do for decades. Don’t let some poopyhole undo all this progress that has been made so far restoring this natural treasure.-
>This is one of the most biologically diverse areas in all of North America
>one of
So everywhere. "One of" is not quantifiable. Even a parking lot in Newark, New Jersey is "one of" anything. Give us exact metrics and sources or you’re just another dumb hippy repeating what his corporate masters (in this case, Bezos and BO) tells him to think.
Weird how you guys never can quantify anything but the reason is obvious: once you start fighting on the battlefield of facts, you know your ‘facts’ will get torn apart so instead you resort to emotions and generalities.
Data and sources or fuck off wit your emotional namby-pamby corporate greenwash warfare.-
Here you go chud, you can read all about the diversity of the Lower Rio Grande Valley here courtesy of the United States Geological Survey:

Here’s your (You). Take it back to your masters in Beijing, proving you’ve done your duty, Chang. -
Well its sure as fuck isn’t 10,000 acres which is the total size of the Wildlife Refuge (just the Boca Chica section) we’re talking about here, the rest of the 90,000 Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge that contains the Boca Chica tract will not be affected by this at all, so even if SpaceX’s total allotment was 100 acres of the Boca Chica tract thats like 1-5% of the total size of the Wildlife Refuge developed by SpaceX which is freaking nothing.
Look at the big picture here instead of missing the forest for the trees, you can hardly see SpaceX’s footprint on the 10,680-acre Boca Chica tract of the Lower Rio Grande National Wildlife Refuge here
Listen here you grifting fuck.

>90,788 acres (367.41 km2)of that the relevant land here is:
>10,680-acre Boca Chica tract of the Lower Rio Grande National Wildlife Refuge
the Boca Chica launch site makes up 30 acres of that tract
Fuck off. This latest attempt of yours to use the environmental review to continue your irrational war against Musk is pathetic, go back to shorting Tesla, and lapring as an impartial, unbiased """""""skeptic"""""", you’re freaking pathetic man and your videos are shit.
The land is huge, SpaceX’s share of that land is minuscule, it’s not like SpaceX’s 30 acre launch facility threatens 10,000 acres let alone the total 90,000 acre Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge, all the concerns you’ve raised about environmental/pollution were brought up and adressed by the FAA and groups they’ve contacted with SpaceX outlining appropriate mitigation measures to pursue in response, your grifting here is pointless because FAA and SpaceX are already aware of these issues you scrotebrain have you even read the full Draft Programmatic Environmental Assessment? Do you think you know better than the FAA and the environmental groups and agencies they contacted?
>Several federal and state agencies are involved in the Draft PEA as cooperating and participating agencies, including: National Aeronautics and Space Administration, National Park Service, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, Texas Historical Commission, Texas Government Land Office and Texas Department of Transportation.

Reminder that these "discussions" are designed to mentally drain you. There will be no solution except for physical removal.-
Simping for Jeff Bezos under the cloak of caring about a tiny patch of land is pathetic.

Jeff Bezos should be shot along with Elon Musk and all of their ass-licking fanboys.

I love how all these semen-slurping Elon fanbois had no rebuttal against the Starlink criticisms so they just avoid the topic. Keep slurping that semen boys, I bet Daddy Elon will leave a like on one of your daily replies to his tweets one day.

everyone knows youre gay when you talk like that

Why do you feel the need to resort to homoerotic imagery on a board about science and technology? It doesn’t make much sense.
