Could Mexico sue SpaceX? Debris from Starship rocket explosion prompts investigation [View all]

Billionaire Elon Musk's aggressive approach in developing SpaceX's massive Starship rocket from South Texas has led to spectacular fiery explosions time after time after time.

Now, it seems the United States’ neighbors south of the border are reaching the end of their patience.

During a recent news conference, Mexico's president indicated that a lawsuit could be forthcoming if investigators determine that Musk's spaceflight company has contributed to undue pollution and marine life die-off in the country.

The announcement comes after SpaceX's Starship, which the company is developing for human spaceflight, exploded in a fiery blaze last month. The mishap occurred as the giant spacecraft was being prepared for an engine test ahead of its next launch.
