Media: person dies at SpaceX spaceport
A person died as a result of a workplace accident at the base of the American company SpaceX in Texas, The Wall Street Journal reports, citing local authorities.
According to the newspaper, the incident occurred on Friday when an employee of one of SpaceX's contractors working on the development of the Starbase complex died after a fall.
It is noted that in recent years SpaceX has increased the pace of improvements to the base, including for creating infrastructure that would allow more frequent launches of the Starship spacecraft prototype. The next test flight of Starship is scheduled for May 20. According to the plans of the developer company, the Starship space system will be universal and can be used in different versions for manned flights to low Earth orbit, launching satellites, and missions to the Moon and Mars, as well as to more distant celestial bodies.
