South Texas environmental groups filed a lawsuit Monday alleging that the Federal Aviation Administration dialed back regulatory oversight of SpaceX, allowing the company to launch its doomed rocket sooner, CNBC reports. SpaceX’s Starship Super Heavy, the largest rocket ever launched, suffered a “rapid unscheduled disassembly” shortly after lift-off on April 20. Concrete from the launch pad was blown into what environmental group consider delicate ecosystems, while sand-like particles dusted a large swath of land in and around Boca Chica, as reported by the Current.
