Transcript
- 0:00Hey guys, welcome back to the space news pod.
- 0:02This is a show about SpaceX NASA in space flight.
- 0:05I'm your host will Walden. And on this episode, we're going
- 0:08to be talking about space X, star base in Boca Chica Texas,
- 0:14and there's a few things that have been going on.
- 0:16One of them is cool and the other one is not so cool.
- 0:19And I want you to stay tuned because the not so cool.
- 0:21One might lead SpaceX into a little bit of legal trouble down
- 0:28in Texas, and they might Have to postpone operations due to this
- 0:33legal trouble. But first let's take a look at
- 0:35something cool that Elon Musk posted on his Twitter account
- 0:41yesterday. So the high Bay that's where
- 0:43they stack all the rockets and all the boosters.
- 0:47They're making a an observation deck up there and on this
- 0:52observation deck, you'll be able to hang out and like, look over
- 0:55the, the build site which is really cool.
- 0:58You'll be able to look out over the Gulf.
- 1:00It's going to be really beautiful.
- 1:02Ilan, posted a picture while a video I should say on his
- 1:05Twitter about it. There's a shot of SN 15 over in
- 1:08the corner across the whole build site and this is amazing,
- 1:14because no one's really seen this yet.
- 1:16We've seen RGV aerial photos from and videos from really high
- 1:21up but we haven't seen anything from this high Bay yet and Ilan
- 1:25just posted this. It's pretty cool.
- 1:26I'm going to zoom in on it so you can see a better.
- 1:29Shot of this. Very cool though and this is
- 1:33what's going to what it's going to look like.
- 1:35For visitors and people that work there.
- 1:37You can go up there and have a meal.
- 1:38You know you don't there and have a cocktail if you want.
- 1:41And that's it's going to be really cool.
- 1:43So this is kind of like the first look and everything down
- 1:46there is in like right now. Everything is in production.
- 1:50Everything is being worked on. Everything is being built.
- 1:52So this is kind of the first look on top of the tower, on top
- 1:57of the high Bay. So I man, this is This is a
- 2:01tough one because SpaceX is doing amazing things in Texas,
- 2:05the building Rockets the building, the rockets that will
- 2:08be sending Humanity to Mars eventually and they're also
- 2:13playing by the rules of humanity right now.
- 2:17So there's a little legal battle that's going on now with SpaceX
- 2:22and I got this from Rudy Bareilles, Rudy em, tweets on
- 2:26Twitter, check this out, just in Cameron County District.
- 2:31He notifies SpaceX Boca Chica that unauthorized road closures
- 2:36and enforcement by contracted Security offices.
- 2:41Our officers may be in violation of state law, including felonies
- 2:47impersonation of a public servant who man, that sounds
- 2:54rough, right? So you know somebody who's we
- 2:58don't know all the details about this.
- 2:59Nobody really knows all the details.
- 3:01About this is between Cameron County and SpaceX.
- 3:05We know some of the of the details of this couple roads
- 3:10were closed from by SpaceX on their own without any
- 3:15authorization from the city, the county, the state, nothing like
- 3:20that SpaceX was like, we're closing these roads for the day
- 3:23for the time being. And you can't get through here
- 3:25because we say, so that's pretty much it.
- 3:27So, let's, let's just take a look, a little deeper dive into
- 3:30this and June 3rd, 2021 save RGV sent, Cameron County Judge,
- 3:35Eddie Trevino and me a letter outlining concerns about SpaceX
- 3:39operations facilities in the Boca, Chica Beach, area of
- 3:42Cameron County, Texas. So also these.
- 3:46So these roads that we're talking about, these are public
- 3:48roads, you should be able to drive down them whenever you
- 3:52want to. Whenever you want to drive your
- 3:55vehicle down there, you should be able to drive right through
- 3:58there. But SpaceX has shut them off.
- 4:01Times. And that's what this is all
- 4:03about. One of the concerns was the
- 4:05complaint that SpaceX and its private security Personnel, have
- 4:08been closing and or denying public access to remedios Avenue
- 4:12and Joanna strain. These two roads are County Roads
- 4:16off of State Highway for at or near the following coordinates
- 4:21on a states where they are. So Highway for is a road that
- 4:24goes right past the SpaceX facility, you can park your car.
- 4:28There, you can take photos. You can shoot video, you can
- 4:31Just look, you can just watch stuff that's going on and that's
- 4:34a pretty major highway down there, not a major highway but
- 4:38it's a thoroughfare that goes to the beach so a lot of people use
- 4:42it but these side roads, they go right through the SpaceX
- 4:45facility and I want to show you that in a minute.
- 4:47But this Cameron County district attorney says, giving SpaceX the
- 4:52benefit of the doubt on June 9th 2021.
- 4:55My staff visited the SpaceX area to verify the veracity of the
- 4:59complaint. I have been notified that
- 5:01Turning off of State Highway for onto remedios Avenue and my
- 5:05staff. And my staff was immediately
- 5:07approached stopped and detained by mr.
- 5:12Oscar Lopez Mr. Lopez Lester Mr. Lopez stated that he was a
- 5:17member of SpaceX security that the show is brought to you by

- 7:31My staff could not use the road, okay, caught red-handed SpaceX,
- 7:37you're caught red-handed right there and that they had to turn
- 7:39around and return to Highway for after my staff of informed him
- 7:43that they were with a district, attorney's office, and merely
- 7:47following up on a citizen complaint.
- 7:49He represented that they were the type, that was going to make
- 7:52a big deal about things. My staff informants are Lopez's
- 7:55supervisor in the head of the security team that remedios
- 7:58Avenue is a public Road in that. Neither Cameron County Sheriff
- 8:02nor Cameron County Commissioners Court had authorized the closure
- 8:06of said Road I shared with your staff be advised, the action of
- 8:10SpaceX and its staff employees, agents contractors.
- 8:13Make can constitute crimes in the state of Texas SpaceX.
- 8:17Might be in huge trouble here. Obstruction, a obstructing, a
- 8:21highway, or other passageway. It is a Class, B, misdemeanor
- 8:26for a person to without legal privilege, or authority to
- 8:29intentionally, Ali or recklessly obstruct.
- 8:33Let's go to the next one, a highway Street, sidewalk Railway
- 8:36Etc. So SpaceX has basically their
- 8:39guards saying, hey, you can't use this and it's from the
- 8:42district to the district attorney's office, can't even
- 8:45use these roads. The guard said, hey, you can't
- 8:48come through here, but it's not SpaceX property.
- 8:50This is public property, this is where you and me, we can just
- 8:54drive through your were supposed to drive through here.
- 8:57Also, there might be in trouble for this to impersonating a
- 9:00public. It is a third degree felony for
- 9:04a person to impersonate a public servant with intent to induce
- 9:08another to submit to his pretended official Authority.
- 9:13So basically we're saying is this person pretending to be a
- 9:16cop you know pretending to be somebody who is there to direct
- 9:21traffic and keep people out of this area.
- 9:23The district attorney is like, hey man, this is not cool SpaceX
- 9:27so stop doing it. So let me know in the That's
- 9:31what you think about this too. And I'll leave a link to this
- 9:34tweet down below. So you have the full document
- 9:38but that's pretty much all. I'm going to say about that
- 9:40right now, but I want to show you a picture of the roads RGV
- 9:45aerial photo, check out there. Patreon, great, patreon RGV,
- 9:49aerial photo. Also RGV aerial photography on
- 9:54YouTube. Great Channel.
- 9:55Here's a picture of the roads and question marked in red.
- 9:58This is from Reddit user beyond our ammonia.
- 10:01So they posted a picture of these roads and question,
- 10:04Joanna? Right here, and remedios right
- 10:08here, I don't know if I'm saying that right, but these are public
- 10:10streets. Is the public roads that anybody
- 10:12should be able to drive down. And SpaceX has a security detail
- 10:16out there and said hey you can't drive down here.
- 10:20So again, let me know in the comments, what you think?
- 10:22Do you think SpaceX is in huge trouble here?
- 10:25Or do you think they'll work something out with Cameron
- 10:27County? Because if I were SpaceX, I
- 10:31would be freaking out right now. I'd be freaking out and I would,
- 10:37I don't know, I'm looking at this picture right now and I'm
- 10:38like man, these are right in the middle of the build site.
- 10:43These are public roads can SpaceX by, this can SpaceX by
- 10:47these roads, you know. Can they just be like?
- 10:50You know what, man. We're building something.
- 10:52Here we need these roads. This is an industrial complex.
- 10:55Now we know we didn't do it the right the first time but let's
- 10:58make it right. Let's buy this.
- 11:01You know, let's let's just make this a private area public
- 11:05roads. Sure that's what they are right
- 11:07now. But if we need to keep building
- 11:10stuff here, we need to make this into a private road.
- 11:13So let's just buy this out, let's buy it out from the
- 11:15Cameron County and it's fine people like businesses do that
- 11:19all the time. There's something next to a road
- 11:23in there needs to be really heavy equipment, moving through
- 11:26there all the time, it's not a public road, people can buy that
- 11:29property off the state by At property off the city by the
- 11:32property off the county and you know, make it up, make it a
- 11:35private road Private access road.
- 11:38So let me know in the comments. What you think do you think
- 11:40SpaceX is in trouble? Because I think they're going to
- 11:43get out of it. I don't think they're in a ton
- 11:45of trouble but that person that was impersonating a authority
- 11:50figure maybe in a little bit of trouble, that's what I think.
- 11:54So, let me know in the comments. All right, that's all I got for
- 11:56now. Thanks for watching Everybody.
