Pregnant Wife Frightened by SpaceX Rocket Sonic Booms
12 Dec
Summary
- Singer Charlie Puth publicly urged Elon Musk to address loud rocket launches.
- A recent 3 a.m. launch reportedly caused violent house shaking.
- SpaceX confirmed potential sonic booms for Santa Barbara area residents.
Singer Charlie Puth has taken to social media to voice his concerns about the escalating noise from SpaceX rocket launches near his Santa Barbara home. He directly addressed Elon Musk, describing a recent 3 a.m. launch that generated sonic booms so intense they violently shook his house and greatly frightened his pregnant wife. Puth hopes the noise levels do not increase further.
SpaceX, led by CEO Elon Musk, operates rocket testing facilities in multiple states, including California. Launches from Vandenberg Space Force Base in Santa Barbara have been noted, with the company issuing advisories about potential sonic booms for residents in Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and Ventura counties, depending on weather and other conditions. A Falcon 9 rocket launch occurred early Wednesday morning at 3:40 a.m.
This situation highlights the impact of aerospace activities on local communities. While Puth's plea focuses on the immediate disruption and safety concerns for his family, it brings attention to the broader effects of rocket testing. As of now, Elon Musk has not publicly responded to Puth's appeal.
