Although SpaceX is proposing swapping the public land for 477 acres, it has not yet purchased that property. The deal started in 2019 as a conversation between the state and SpaceX. But it was finally worked out in 2023, said David Yoskowitz, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's executive director.

☆ (video) Recomandări de la Mircea, fără spoilere: cinci filme care îți vor schimba viziunea față de lume

Filmat impecabil, jucat cu gust, la limita dintre teatru și film, montat după vechile reguli, dar modern de dinamic. Pentru ceilalți filmul rezervă o poveste captivantă, o energie revoltătoare și o lume zguduită de nedreptăți. Un exemplu din realitate în care binele este pedepsit din cauza incompetenței și a opiniei publice care abia așteaptă să taie în carne vie. O poveste convingătoare care ilustrează abuzul de putere al celor mai influente instituții din America – guvernul și presa. Vorbind despre film, este unul înfricoșător, dur și consistent; o poveste care ne înfățișează foarte realist soarta unui om mic implicat într-un război mare.
