Mexico City (AFP) – Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Wednesday threatened legal action over falling debris and contamination from billionaire Elon Musk's SpaceX rocket launches across the border in the United States.

The explosion -- which sent a towering fireball into the air -- was the latest setback to Musk's dream of sending humans to Mars.
