Boca Chica Spacex testing facility, in South Texas, burned that leads to the destruction of 68 hectares of bush in protected reserves. Space X crew is conducting a static test from the raptor spacecraft prototype when this accident occurred. It is said that the burning debris was seen near the grass nearby, a report by Kurv. Fire crew reached that place and performed operations to control fire in Mexico Bay and stop the fire from reaching the building at the Starbase facility.
Before the fire could be controlled, he reached quickly to the management area of Las Palomas wildlife in the village of Rio Grande, which was protected by birds nesting such as white-winged pigeons, kuntul, white tail deer, and crocodiles. When talking to KRGV, Biologist Stephanie Bilodeau said that he found many crabs died and a large number of destroyed vegetation. Biologists further added that it was worrying and he thought that Spacex had some mitigation about this accident and continued to check so that this fire could quickly turn into big.
The accident area invites a variety of local birds and migration as said by Taman Texas and API. In June, the FAA evaluated the environment of the company’s 0F efforts to use rockets that could be reused to be launched from a site located several kilometers from the Mexican border. Spacex Starship uses a raptor machine which is a group of full gradual combustion rocket machines that are also produced by SpaceX. The engine gets power from a liquid liquid methane and liquid oxygen (trolox) used in the Merlin rocket machine and the previously spacex.
Raptor engine is said to have better, twice as many as two SpaceX Merlin 1D engine push that is seen to turn on the heavy launch vehicle Falcon and Falcon. See also when Elon Musk, CEO of Spacex, said the first Starship Orbital flight could take place in March
