Boca Chica Village residents are worried SpaceX will force them out of their homes as it tries to buyout the village for its experimental Mars rockets.
SpaceX is hoping Starship, its experimental rocket, will eventually take humans to Mars from its spaceport in southern Texas.

SpaceX recently sent residents a mass-mailed offer to decide in two weeks whether they wanted to sell their homes for three times what it says is an independently appraised value.
