Texas lawmakers are currently considering legislation that could significantly expand SpaceX’s authority over public access to Boca Chica Beach, the coastal area adjacent to Elon Musk’s sprawling Starbase spaceport. A bill introduced by State Representative Eddie Morales would designate the company’s launch facility as “critical infrastructure,” putting it in the same legal category as airports, pipelines, and military installations.
If passed, the legislation would make unauthorized access or interference at the site a punishable offense under Texas law, effectively limiting public movement around the beach during launch. . .
