In response to Mexico’s consideration of legal action, the company said on X that “there are no hazards to the surrounding area,” and that Starship’s materials “pose no chemical, biological, or toxicological risks.” According to Sheinbaum, though, the Mexican government is reviewing international laws and will file “necessary lawsuits.” The international scrutiny comes as SpaceX is ramping up to launch as many as 25 Starships a year from Starbase and expanding their operation into Florida. Despite public opposition and lingering questions over its operation, the FAA found that allowing more launches “would not significantly impact” the environment.
