"County Closes Beach for SpaceX's 3rd Starship Test Flight"

Cameron County Judge Eddie Treviño Jr. announced the temporary closure of Boca Chica Beach and State Highway 4 ahead of SpaceX's anticipated third launch of Starship, aiming to protect public health and safety. The closure will be in effect from midnight to 2 p.m. on March 14, with potential alternate closure dates on the following two days if the test flight is delayed. SpaceX's third test flight will feature a new flight path, with plans for a splashdown in the Indian Ocean, as the company addresses 17 corrective actions identified by the FAA following the second test flight.
