SpaceX accused of dumping mercury into Texas waters for years
popsci.com

SpaceX’s Starship launches at the company’s Starbase facility near Boca Chica, Texas, have allegedly been contaminating local bodies of water with mercury for years. The news arrives in an exclusive CNBCreport on August 12, which cites internal documents and communications between local Texas regulators and the Environmental Protection Agency.

SpaceX’s fourth Starship test launch in June was its most successful so far—but the world’s largest and most powerful rocket ever built continues to wreak havoc on nearby Texas communities, wildlife, and ecosystems. But after repeated admonishments, reviews, and ignored requests, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) have had enough.

This is what you said:

This started because you said people can’t praise them.

I did not say people can't praise them. People can praise anyone they want. I am unable to tell anyone else what to do apart from my child.

You lied. You're done with this conversation because you know you lied and you refuse to admit it.

I said I was done, but I'll just leave this here since you're apparently unfamiliar with the concept:

It wasn't a paraphrase, it was a lie. I never said anything about what anyone can't do. In fact, I asked a question about whether or not people will stop doing it.

It's such an obvious lie that I'm not sure why you're even trying to attempt this 'paraphrase' nonsense.
