"textContent": "WASHINGTON, May 11, 2026 – About 80 South Texas homeowners are suing **Elon Musk’s** rocket company SpaceX for $10 million, claiming that the 11 test flights from the Starship rocket have repeatedly caused damage to their homes.\n\nThe plaintiffs claim that test flights have repeatedly caused damage due to noise, vibrations, and sonic booms, leading to cracked walls, broken windows, roof movement, and structural shifts.\n\nIn 2025, Starship received authorization from the Federal Aviation Administration to launch up to 25 times a year, five times as many as the year before. According to the Texas Tribune, the lawsuit does not specifically list the damages caused to the homes, but the plaintiffs are pointing to the power of Starship as evidence.\n\n### This post is for subscribers only\n\nBecome a member to get access to all content\n\nSubscribe now",
