Boca Chica, Texas (CNN) — Con la imponente base de lanzamiento de SpaceX a sus espaldas, Justin LeClaire vio algo asombroso en un mosaico de hierba y llanuras arenosas de naturaleza protegida en el extremo sur de Texas, cerca del Golfo de México.“Tenemos un pájaro que está muy angustiado”, dijo el biólogo, deteniéndose en seco y mirando rápidamente por sus binoculares. “Lo que probablemente significa que tiene un nido aquí”.Según LeClaire, se trataba de un chorlitejo nival, una especie que ha disminuido rápidamente en la zona en los últimos cinco años, desde que SpaceX empezó a probar y lanzar cohetes allí. La torre de lanzamiento sobresale del prístino Parque Estatal de Boca Chica como un campanario futurista que puede verse desde más de 8 kilómetros en un día despejado.El controvertido lanzamiento y posterior explosión del cohete Starship de SpaceX, el más potente construido hasta la fecha, esparció restos del tamaño de pequeñas rocas por todo el deli...
