Starship is grounded until SpaceX finds out why the first V3 booster failed during its first test flight.
The death is the latest worker safety issue at the Starbase facility, which has a higher injury rate than all other SpaceX sites.
Elon Musk’s company town already has a volunteer fire department, and is forming a Starbase Police Department. Now it wants its own court, too.
The new department will have up to eight police officers and could be up and running in a few months.
The federal safety agency has hit SpaceX with a $115,850 fine after finding seven “serious” violations during its investigation.
