When I say that the new place culture is Elon Musk versus the rest of the world, it’s not a joke, and I’m not joking when I tell you that the Biden-Harris FAA is his biggest competitor, not China, which is surely not Russia.

SpaceX’s Starship has the potential to revolutionize flying by significantly lowering start costs by two orders of magnitude, or a 99 % benefits, and significantly reducing the current limitations on the mass and size of what can be carried into orbit and deep space.
If SpaceX you obtain the necessary flight testing, that is if the FAA is dragging its foot.
In a lengthy statement released on Tuesday, the business reminded the Biden administration that” starships are meant to fly”. The FAA, the government agency that regulates Starship flight tests, just gave us an estimate of the launch license launch date for late November. This is a more than two-month pause to the formerly communicated meeting of mid-September. This wait was driven by a redundant economic analysis rather than a new safety concern.
The upcoming Starship flight test aims to demonstrate crucial activities like re-entering both stages for reuse and the huge launch tower” chopsticks” that prevent the first stage from landing on a landing ship out at sea. The Starship has been prepared for a while. The Biden-Harris management keeps coming up with fresh justifications for delays.  ,
Every Starship journey has made significant progress and met extremely challenging test objectives, increasing the system’s capacity and dependability overall. Our strategy of putting trip hardware as frequently as possible maximizes the rate at which we can understand the system both theoretically and practically. This strategy made SpaceX the world’s leading establish company today and enabled modify on our Falcon ship of rockets.
Starships must fly in order to accomplish this and to accomplish it quickly enough to meet commitments to federal objectives like NASA’s Artemis programme. The more we fly properly, the faster we learn, the faster we learn, the sooner we realize total and rapid jet utilize. However, we are still stuck in a situation where it takes more time to complete the government paperwork than it does to design and construct the actual hardware. This is a serious threat to America’s status as the world’s leader and should never occur.

” What is the point of our giant military-industrial-intelligence complex ( which relies on SpaceX ) if they ca n’t even tell the Fisheries Service to buzz off”? Robert Shibley made a pointed inquiry at Instapundit immediately.
Minus SpaceX, the U. S.  , is behind China. In the race back to the moon — led by NASA and” Old Space” contractors with” New Space” firm SpaceX in a secondary ( but necessary ) role — China is in vital ways ahead of us.
Biden-Harris would cause us to lose the New Space Race in a fit of political rage against the man whose another company, X, had the temerity to recover free speech to just one social media platform, putting our full national security in danger.
That’s sickeningly un-American.
