• https://www.zerohedge.com, by Tyler Durden

"On Aug. 31, 2023, mariners operating offshore in waters east of Brownsville, Texas, are advised of rocket launching activities and associated hazardous areas which may impact navigation interests," USCG stated.

The agency continued, "Navigational hazards from rocket launching activity may include, free falling debris and/or descending vehicles or vehicle components, under various means of control. Mariners should avoid all waters within rocket flight trajectories originating from launch sites in the vicinity of Boca Chica Beach and Brownsville, Texas."

Boca Chica is home to the SpaceX Starbase, located on the east coast of Texas near South Padre Island's beaches.

On Aug. 4, Elon Musk posted on "X," formerly known as Twitter, "Preparing for next Starship flight! This time, I think we have ~50% probability of reaching orbital velocity, however even getting to stage separation would be a win."
