SpaceX’s Starship launches at the company’s Starbase facility near Boca Chica, Texas, have allegedly been contaminating local bodies of water with mercury for years. The news arrives in an exclusive CNBCreport on August 12, which cites internal documents and communications between local Texas regulators and the Environmental Protection Agency.

SpaceX’s fourth Starship test launch in June was its most successful so far—but the world’s largest and most powerful rocket ever built continues to wreak havoc on nearby Texas communities, wildlife, and ecosystems. But after repeated admonishments, reviews, and ignored requests, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) have had enough.

      This started because you said people can’t praise them.

      That is a lie.

      This is what I said:

      Maybe people will finally stop praising SpaceX?

      Why you think you can get away with lying to me about what I said is beyond me.

          I did not say people can’t praise them. People can praise anyone they want. I am unable to tell anyone else what to do apart from my child.

          You lied. You’re done with this conversation because you know you lied and you refuse to admit it.

              It wasn’t a paraphrase, it was a lie. I never said anything about what anyone can’t do. In fact, I asked a question about whether or not people will stop doing it.

              It’s such an obvious lie that I’m not sure why you’re even trying to attempt this ‘paraphrase’ nonsense.
