SpaceX has reportedly handed out what they're calling an 'unconditional and perpetual agreement'—which sounds about as negotiable as a root canal appointment—to non-affiliated residents near Starbase. The catch? Residents trade access to the 'water and sewer system' in exchange for agreeing to 'leave the area for any and all launch, testing and other operational activities.' So basically, your backyard is now prime rocket real estate, and if you’re home during liftoff, you better be ready to hightail it. It's like being told, 'Your hose and toilet come with a side of witness protection.'
