If you have been following SpaceX, you probably heard about the small town of Boca Chica, Texas. But have you wondered what the name of the town means?
Well I found out on Wikipedia. It means “small mouth”! But why?
Well, it’s because the Rio Grande River's flow is modest, and in droughts the mouth of the river may disappear altogether
@TerTech Huh, good point. Did you watch the BN3 static fire? A quick burn is probably more exciting than Bezos’ flight. Don’t know why, but I remembered Unity-22, but completely forgot about NS-16.
But hey, there is a reason for the name! Remember the Rio Grande River’s flow is modest, and in droughts the mouth may disappear altogether?
Well, if you know da social studies, we claimed Texas along with several other states when Mexico surrendered to us, and we wanted to establish peace. In English, “Boca Chica” means “Small Mouth”. Weird name, I know. Just gotta know da socials.
@TerTech Nice!
