A federal judge has approved a land exchange between SpaceX and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Cameron County, despite opposition from conservation groups. The agreement involves the transfer of 715 acres of wildlife refuge land for 683 acres of private land. The judge denied a request for a preliminary injunction from groups like the Center for Biological Diversity, stating they did not prove they would face irreparable harm. The land will be used for expanding the Massey Test Site and building a service road. The judge's ruling noted no significant adverse effects on wildlife from the exchange.
