SpaceX clears FAA environmental hurdle, moves closer to routine launches of Starship rocket from Texas

private space company headed by Elon Musk would have to take more than 75 actions to mitigate environmental impacts from the proposed plan to launch the Starship/Super Heavy vehicle from Boca Chica, Texas. Those measures would include actions to address impacts to fish, wildlife and plants in and around the site near the Gulf of Mexico.

ELON MUSK SAYS HE DOESN'T USE FLIGHT ATTENDANTS; SPACEX PRESIDENT DEFENDS HIM OVER SEXUAL ASSAULT CLAIM"SpaceX also must meet FAA safety, risk, and financial responsibility requirements before a license is issued for any launch activities," it said in a press release. Some of the measures SpaceX would have to take include adjusting lighting at the launch site, removing debris from sensitive habitats, notifying nearby communities in advance about potential engine noise and sonic booms resulting from launches and monitoring by a qualified biologist.SpaceX has previously said it would use the Starship for its most ambitious missions, including a potential trip to Mars. In February, Musk said the rocket could reach orbits for less than $10 million per flight within two or three years, a fraction of the traditional cost to launch rockets into space.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE ON FOX BUSINESSFox News has reached out to the company.

Electronic-sniffing dog helps make pedophilia arrest in Mexico

Photo via Horry County Sheriff's Office "Tiger King" star Bhagavan "Doc" Antle has been charged with laundering more than half a million dollars, money federal prosecutors said Monday that he believed to be the proceeds of an operation to smuggle people across the Mexican border into the United States.Charges against Antle and Andrew Jon Sawyer, one of Antle's employees at Myrtle Beach Safari, were revealed during a federal court hearing in Florence, South Carolina.According to federal prosecutors, Antle and Sawyer laundered $505,000 over a four-month period by doling out checks from businesses they controlled, receiving a 15% fee of the money that passed through their hands.The checks, prosecutors allege, falsely purported to be payment for construction work at Myrtle Beach Safari but were in reality intended to serve as evidence that the recipients had legitimate income.According to the complaint unsealed in court Monday, Antle discussed his plan to conceal the cash he received by inflating tourist numbers at his 50-acre (20-hectare) wildlife tropical preserve. Prosecutors also said he had previously used bulk cash receipts to purchase animals for which he could not use checks.Records for the Horry County jail show Antle and Sawyer were both arrested Friday.
