Residents in Boca Chica Village, Texas, near a SpaceX facility in Brownsville received a warning from the Cameron County Office of Emergency Management that tests of the company\\u2019s Starhopper prototype on Aug. 26 could break windows in their homes, according to the Brownsville Herald.
The alert stated that flight testing activities from 4:00 p.m. to 4:15 p.m. ET carry \\u201ca risk that a malfunction of the SpaceX vehicle during flight will create an overpressure event that can break windows.\\u201d Officials wrote in the warning that residents must evacuate their residences at that time to avoid being sprayed with shattered glass: \\u201cAt a minimum, you must exit your home or structure and be outside of any building on your property... to avoid or minimize the risk of injury.\\u201d
It\\u2019s reasonable to assume that the overpressure referred to would be the result of the prototype exploding, generating enough force to damage nearby buildings.
On Monday, SpaceX hopes to have Starhopper launch to a full 650 feet (198 meters) before returning to the launchpad; if it\\u2019s successful, CEO Elon Musk says he will follow up with a public presentation \\u201chopefully mid-September\\u201d giving more details on the project.
\\u201cI\\u2019m very angry,\\u201d local part-time resident Celia Johnson told Business Insider. \\u201cI feel like we are in a war zone running out of our houses so they won\\u2019t collapse on us... Our rights have been terminated by money, greed, and politics.\\u201d
\\u201cI am shocked, angry, and concerned about what kind of damage I might sustain,\\u201d Cheryl Stevens, who owns a house in Boca Chica, told the site. \\u201cAlso bewildered as far as what to do that day. I don\\u2019t know how to prepare for this. I plan to call the FAA [Federal Aviation Administration] on Monday to discuss the civil rights violations among other things.\\u201d
