FWS statement on the SpaceX Launch Mishap.

My take is that they're flexing their jurisdictional muscle a bit and are certainly not pleased.

While I've got your attention, check out my latest post dissecting the SpaceX mess and regulatory issues to come

SpaceX's Texas Rocket Caused a Big Mess - What's Next?

Well, this has certainly been a wild week. Last Sunday, I posted a summary of some key environmental impacts to look out for during SpaceX’s first launch of Starship Superheavy from Boca Chica, Texas. The post did really well in the following days; it racked up a view count in the ~25k range, a big success for a Substack like mine.

@jakecoppinger Thanks much, will do. Still trying to figure out some of the nuances of this network!

Great Scoop from @lorakolodny on the latest into SpaceX's mishap last week.

Quotes from local Sierra Club, Center For Biological Diversity, and Yours Truly

Important subtext in this scoop is that FAA doesn't consider the exploded launch vehicle as the sole trigger for anomaly reporting and investigation, but the miles wide debris field from the nuked launch site as well.
