"Starship Launch Causes Catastrophic Damage on Ground and Sparks Fire"
TL;DR Summary
The US Fish and Wildlife Service has documented the damage caused by SpaceX's Starship launch on April 20, which scattered debris over hundreds of acres and created a small brush fire. The launch caused no harm to wildlife, but debris was spread out over 385 acres belonging to SpaceX and Boca Chica State Park. The damage to the launch pad was significant, and it is not clear when the next launch attempt will take place. It is also uncertain what additional environmental reviews or assessments may be required because of the damage from the Starship launch.
