The Government of Mexico evaluates processing Spacex, a space exploration company led by Elon Musk, for alleged environmental damage and safety risks caused by launches near the border between the two countries. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said the country studies which international laws would be being violated to begin the lawsuit. However, it did not detail the specific impacts.
Government concerns intensified after recurring failures on tests in the southern United States, a few kilometers from the Mexican territory. The most recent episode took place last week, when a rocket still exploded at the release base in Texas. Despite the incident, Spacex stated that there was no risks and no one was injured. Sheinbaum, PhD in Energy Engineering and Author of Environmental Publications and Sustainability, has highlighted the commitment to environmental protection during its public management.
