After SN8 Crashed the FAA gave Elon a warning of sorts, clean up your act or get shut down. We all knew that was why they stopped the launch of SN9 twice. It had nothing to do with Biden or Trump , it was all about range safety. Boca Chica is not where the US government wants SpaceX to launch from, and Texas isn't going to stop the government from pulling his permits or authorization. |

They never intended to land it. The 'bellyflop' landing was intentional and the airframe was expendable. Quoting: N19108 Watch the SpaceX site instead of CNN. spin control The whole point of SpaceX was to build reusable rockets that could land safely and be turned around quickly. If they deliberately allowed this supposedly reusable rocket to crash and burn like you say, then why would ANYONE want to use their rockets? Because they're not reusable. |

I don't watch CNN, and I do watch SpaceX feed but it is never live except for launches from the cape. The Belly flop maneuver was never supposed to land on it's belly and I seriously doubt anyone with SpaceX suggested that. |

The SpaceX falcon program crashed a lot of rockets before they perfected the process. Starship is building on what SpaceX has learned from Falcon. The FAA can huff and puff all they want - they can’t stop this rocket. This is a political issue. Musk hasn’t paid the Democrats enough money. Have a nice day = GFY. GFY = Go Fuck Yourself.

They have the final say so on all rocket launches in the US. They provide a NOTAM and TFR's (Notice to Airmen and Temporary Flight Restriction) for SpaceX's launches, in short nothing goes up or down without the FAA permission.

What we have here is a near perfect example of a wasted youth. Even my iPhone types better for me and spells correctly as well. Guys like this pollute a forum with hate over the intellectual conversations most of us would rather have. |

She's not bad, but for a genius rich guy, anyone could do better. It's all a show. And so many people are afraid to level up and leave their animal farms and echo chambers. They are like Q tards, saying soon we will go to mars, soon as we get a working rocket. Bwahahaha! |

Back when Starship was called the Big Falcon Rocket. |
