Three US lawmakers are calling for greater scrutiny of worker safety at Elon Musk’s SpaceX following a Reuters investigation that documented hundreds of injuries at the rocket company’s US manufacturing and launch sites. The investigation revealed at least 600 previously unreported workplace injuries since 2014, including crushed limbs, amputations, head injuries, and one death. The injury rates at three major SpaceX industrial facilities in Texas and California were found to far exceed the average for the space industry. Representative Zoe Lofgren of California, the top Democrat on the House of Representatives Science, Space and Technology Committee, stated that the findings were deeply concerning and must be taken very seriously. Democratic Representative Mark Takano of California, a member of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, called the report deeply troubling and emphasized the need for accountability. Representative Donald Norcross of New Jersey, also a member of the education and workforce committee, described the findings as alarming and called for further investigation. SpaceX has not responded to questions about the injuries or the lawmakers’ remarks. NASA, which has paid SpaceX $11.8 billion as a private space contractor, has not commented on the company’s safety record but highlighted the option of enforcing contract provisions that require a robust and effective safety program. Lori Garver, a former NASA deputy administrator, urged NASA to examine the causes of the high worker injury rates at SpaceX facilities, stating that it should be a wake-up call for the agency. SpaceX’s next-generation spacecraft Starship was set for a repeat test launch on Saturday, aimed at carrying astronauts to the moon and beyond.
