SpaceX rocket launches endanger lives in Florida Keys

SpaceX's recent rocket launches from Texas have raised safety concerns for residents in the Florida Keys, southern Bahamas, and Cuba. Two recent failures resulted in debris falling over populated areas, highlighting risks associated with the company's choice of launch site. Previously, Cape Canaveral was preferred for its distance from populated areas. SpaceX's decision to launch from Texas was influenced by financial incentives and relaxed regulations, despite warnings about potential hazards to nearby communities. The Federal Aviation Administration has approved SpaceX's Texas launches, but the company has plans to also launch from Cape Canaveral. Concerns remain about the safety of these launches and the risk of debris affecting populated regions.
