Public meetings in Brevard County, Florida, have been held to discuss the environmental impacts of SpaceX's expansion of Starship Super Heavy launch operations at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

These meetings, conducted by the U.S. Air Force, included community feedback on potential impacts such as habitat disruption, wildlife, and traffic.

During the sessions, representatives from SpaceX, NASA, and the Space Force addressed community concerns in an open-house format followed by a formal presentation and public comment period.

An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is underway to evaluate how Starship launches might affect airspace, wildlife, noise levels, and public safety.

SpaceX has proposed three options for its launch operations: modifying existing infrastructure, building new facilities on designated land for a future launch complex, or choosing a non-action alternative that involves no new development.

A virtual hearing is scheduled for July 15, 2025, at 6 p.m., as part of the ongoing review process.

SpaceX's Starship program is expected to generate $1.8 billion in capital investments and create approximately 600 jobs over the next five years.

Starship is designed for deep-space missions, including transporting crew and cargo to orbit, the Moon, and Mars.

Initial public outreach began in 2023 to identify environmental issues and gather community input related to the project.
