The remnants of SpaceX’s SN11 rocket test from Mar. 30 are strewn through Boca Chica and the surrounding wetlands, as recovery efforts are underway to recover debris.
Right now, SpaceX, Texas Parks and Wildlife (TPWD), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the National Park Service are recovering debris from the area, which is owned by TPWD.
TPWD spokesperson Kirk McDonell told the PRESS that land in and around SpaceX’s Boca Chica facility, which is part of the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge, is owned by TPWD and managed by USFWS.
Aubry Buzek, spokesperson for USFWS, told the PRESS that debris went 1,000 meters into the protected lands, and that it’s uncertain, as of now, whether they will be able to recover all of it.
Buzek told the PRESS recovery efforts have created “persistent disturbance to wildlife during the cleanup,” and that long-term effects from the debris are not known.
The debris and accelerated activity has concerned Laguna Madre and Cameron County residents and local leadership, now faced with responding to circumstances activists had foreseen.
Cameron County Judge Eddie Treviño Jr. says that the debris needs to be gone before they can fully open Highway 4, the lone access road to Boca Chica, which he routinely orders closed when SpaceX is conducting tests.
“Public health and safety is paramount,” Trevino told the PRESS on a phone call. “We need to make sure their system is in conjunction with us and other related agencies at the state and federal level and is such that any debris does not create a potential hazard to the public at large.”
Treviño said he is concerned with the rate of activity at SpaceX’s Boca Chica facility, wantingto limit Highway 4 closures because of the approaching summer months, anticipating more traffic as people head to Boca Chica Beach.
“This is a learning curve, and we’re trying to work in a collaborative fashion,” Treviño said of his office and SpaceX.
SpaceX has gained federal notoriety as well from their rocket launches.
The U.S. House of Representatives Transportation and Infrastructure Committee announced on Mar. 29, a day before SpaceX launched SN11, they were investigating a previous launch in December for SN8. The Federal Aviation Administration said SpaceX violated its launch license by not ensuring “far field blast overpressure” was within regulation, Reuters reported, meaning windows could have been broken from shockwaves far from the launch site.
As SpaceX CEO and Founder Elon Musk looks to incorporate Boca Chica Village, which is two miles away from the company’s facility, local activists are concerned that Brownsville’s leadership are not listening to their concerns.

I don't think Trevino understands what a "learning curve" is. A learning curve is supposed to be a graphical representation of the relationship between how proficient someone is at a task and the amount of experience they have. Proficiency is supposed to increase with increased experience, that is to say, the more someone performs a task, the better they get at it. The "learning curve" in Cameron County and Brownsville is very flat, not curved at all. Or, as they say, insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results.
The chickens are now coming home to roost! We have gained nothing having SpaceX in our City! The last big explosion was the main reason pinche Musk donated 30 million "I'm sorry money". Chinga tu madre Tony Martinez/Cascos and the rest officials who help bring SpaceX to our community! I'm sure you all greedy bastards got rich on the SpaceX deal! May you all rot in hell for what you did! @5:22 Yeah the policeman was killed! What a pendejo you are! Then explain why after seeing that the suspect had a gun, he didn't at least pulled his gun out of his holster? Explain why his bodycam wasn't more hThe chickens are now coming home to roost!

El Paya Jerry esta sufriendo su nickname -
Se lo pone a city candidate Carlos Elizondo pero a ese no le queda. El Paya Jerry McHale es el mero paya!!!
Vato anciano. Cara de cooked ham. Fuera!!!!
I love the fact that Elon is making a fool out of all you peasants.
If debris should fall in the southmost area nobody would take notice but it fell on endangered animals THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE humans are not endangered specially meskins
Enough with the fucking whining against Musk and SpaceX! Thank God you have them, for we all know there ain't shit happening in Brownsville and Cameron County.
It's progress and progress isn't always clean and pretty.
Fucking Mexicans! STFU!!!
Those wind turbines cause more damage than SpaceX. Birds migrate at night I’m sure birds are hitting those structures at an alarming rate. TPW has nothing they don’t have any impact studies all they do is look the other way!
"Are you feelin' yoself?"
"Yes, I'm, feelin' muhself."
The Texas Parks and Wildlife, (TPWD), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services, (USFWS), are familiar terms used by Filemon Vela addressing as to why he wants to use the $1.4 Trillion to build a greenway corridor in the lower RIO GRANDE. Is Filmon Vela involved in the corruption of Spacex? Regreening the Rio Grande is an investment in a more prosperous future for the Valley, for Texas and for the United States, was noted by Filemon Vela. Was Filemon Vela aware that Elon Musk was NOT adhering to his stated plan as launching satellite in Boca Chica instead of using Boca Chica as a ROCKET TESTING SITE? Was Vela and Eddie Trevino aware that Elon Musk's theory was all based on under False Pretenses ?The reality is that the Federal Aviation Administration acknowledged that Musk was Not adhering to his stated plan. Does this false pretense issue dissolve the Musk and Boca Chica contract as to who owns Boca Chica? Does Musk or State own Boca Chica? Could this be the reason why Vela is so called "RETIRING"? We the Legal citizens of Cameron County need real leadership not under FALSE PERTENSES so called political leaders. Why was Boca Chica sold to Elon Musk and Who sold it?
Top Kremlin Mouthpiece Warns of ‘Inevitable’ War With U.S. Over Another Ukraine Land Grab

WHILE LOCAL BLOGGER BITCHED ABOUT THE PROCEDURES BEING FOLLOWED BY THE COUNTY AND CITY IN VACCINATING THE COMMUNITY, RGV RESIDENT HELPS 700 RESIDENTS GET THEIR VACCINE REGISTRATION
For months Local blogger has bitched about the vaccination procedures and now that he has been vaccinated he has stated that he has given up trying to help people get the vaccine.
On the other hand, a young local girl by the name of Selina Herrera decided to create a Goggle Document that she shared on social media where those interested in getting the vaccine could register so she could find them an appointment that was accessible to them and register them. As of Tuesday, almost 700 people have received a vaccine appointment thanks to Selina at no cost to them. (Reported in the Brownsville Herald 4/7/2021).
Bravo Selina! May the Lord bless you for all your fine efforts.

No Reason To Work With GOP Right Now
President Joe Biden is “doing a tremendous job.”
Trump Took No Action To Stop The Attack on The Capitol
These days, you can find fake beef at just about any national fast-food chain and supermarket meat case. Already wildly hyped in 2019, tech-backed burger analogues got a boost from the pandemic.
As COVID-19 roared through meatpacking plants, sickening and killing workers and triggering shutdowns that briefly caused real-meat shortages, consumers loaded up on Impossible Burgers and various competing products.
More recently, fake bird has landed, too: Walmart now peddles house-brand vegan “chick’n patties,” and KFC is trialing not-chicken nuggets developed by Beyond Meat.
Fajitas are next.
STFU
Its the gringos that are crying now they plea the fifth they didn't know, figures puros pinches mamones, rockets explode 99% of the time idiotas. Its call a learning curve now you know gueyes.
72 horas normales en Estados Unidos: Al menos 110 muertos a tiros y 223 heridos
El jueves por la noche fue normal en nuestra casa. Después de la cena, corté algunas ramas intrusivas de los árboles de un vecino y metí esos trozos en el contenedor verde antes de la recolección de basura y reciclaje del viernes.
Entonces mi esposa y yo vimos “¡Jeopardy!” y “Wheel of Fortune” antes de ir a la oficina a escuchar música, revisar el correo electrónico y trabajar en un proyecto de libro.
Un día básico y normal
También hubo un tiroteo masivo el jueves en Texas. Y otro el día anterior, en Carolina del Sur. Eso también se ha vuelto normal.
