TL;DR Summary

Environmental groups are suing the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) over SpaceX's launch of its Starship rocket last month, alleging that the agency failed to adequately investigate the potential harm the launch could do to the surrounding environment. The lawsuit argues that the FAA authorized the launch "without complying with bedrock federal environmental law" and without fully analyzing the significant environmental and community impacts of the SpaceX launch program. The area around the launch is essential habitat to federally protected species, including the endangered ocelot.
