SpaceX gets temporary no-go zones for rockets over South Bay, Texas

The Coast Guard is creating two temporary exclusion zones in the waters around Boca Chica, Texas. No boats or people can enter these zones without permission when SpaceX launches rockets.

These zones protect people and boats from falling debris or other hazards during commercial rocket launches. This means SpaceX can continue its launch operations from Boca Chica, but it also means local fishermen and recreational boaters will face temporary access restrictions. It is a routine step to manage the physical risks of private spaceflight.
