      SpaceX’s statement here.

      > The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) conducted a technical review of Starship’s water-cooled flame deflector, which uses potable (drinking) water and determined that its use does not pose risk to the environment, as we have detailed at great length here → http://spacex.com/updates/#starships-fly

      > We have express permission from TCEQ to run the system now under the conditions of the consent order, and a closeout letter from the EPA on its administrative order.
      >
      > Save RGV acknowledged that they are aware of these straightforward facts and still filed an unwarranted and frivolous lawsuit.

      If the lawsuit is as frivolous as SpaceX claims it is, it will be dismissed.

      I’m aware that SpaceX’s testing shows their runoff is safe, and logically it feels as if there is little that would actually pollute the water, but maybe Save RGV knows something we don’t.

      With SpaceX’s resources, I would think they could hire a much more competent legal team. They seem to have every regulator on their ass for things other companies seem capable of navigating through.

      You can’t “move fast and break things” when it comes to this stuff, it jeopardizes the entire project.

      Who funds these organisations ? It’s really weird how SpaceX seems to get sued every single day. It seems the main goal is to slow down the Starship program.

      I don’t believe Biden/Harris have any interest in going against SpaceX (because of Artemis). So who it is ? Bezos ? ULA ? Automakers ?

      Good. It’s about time we made companies pay for the damage they do to the commons.
