SpaceX said on Thursday its debris recovery efforts after last week's Starship explosion have been hindered and it has sought cooperation from Mexico, whose president has raised the possibility of legal action against the company.

President Claudia Sheinbaum says the country is reviewing the environmental and security impacts of SpaceX's tests, which happen across the border from the Mexican state of Tamaulipas.

The massive SpaceX Starship rocket, which could launch from Florida by the end of 2025, exploded in a fiery blaze during routine engine test in Texas.
