"The proposed SpaceX space port in Brownsville, Texas, has run into opposition from an environmental group. Environment Texas is conducting a petition drive to stop the project. According to a news release by the group, the proposed space port, which would include a launch pad and control and spacecraft processing facilities, would be almost surrounded by a park and wildlife refuge. Environment Texas claims the launching of rockets would scare the heck out of every creature in the area and would spray noxious chemicals all over the place. The petition will demand SpaceX build the space port elsewhere."
I (MarkWhittington) suspect a lot of people in Brownsville are instead looking forward to the jobs, tourists and excitement that a spaceport would bring.
