SpaceX repeatedly polluted waters in Texas this year, regulators found

Elon Musk’s SpaceX violated environmental regulations in releasing pollutants into or nearby bodies of water in Texas, a state environmental agency said in a notice last week.
The report from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) came five months after the Environmental Protection Agency also notified SpaceX that it had violated the Clean Water Act.
The violations could threaten SpaceX’s ambitions to increase Startship launches from its Starbase facility in South Texas.
