TL;DR Summary

SpaceX's first orbital launch attempt of its Starship rocket in Boca Chica, Texas, caused a massive cloud of dust and debris that traveled for miles, ultimately crossing paths with the nearby city of Port Isabel. Buildings were shaken, at least one window was shattered, and residents were left stunned. The far-reaching aftermath of the Starship launch could've been avoided entirely, but SpaceX simply hadn't taken the necessary steps to do so. The launch created a crater estimated to be 25 feet deep, and there were bowling ball-sized pieces of concrete that came flying out of the launchpad area. SpaceX will be installing a deluge system beneath the launch site for future launches.
