BOCA CHICA — It wasn’t just a day at the beach.

But it never is on this small strip of sand near the Texas-Mexico border, not since SpaceX began launching rockets here.

On this particular Saturday in August, about a dozen people gathered to celebrate what the beach meant to them and raise awareness about the harm they see the new space industry doing to the environment.

…
Members of the ENTRE Film Center, a local film center and regional archive, hosted the gathering at Boca Chica to celebrate the beach and motivate people to fight for its preservation, which they view as being in jeopardy since the arrival of Elon Musk's SpaceX. Aug. 8, 2024.
