To be king of the world, much like Islam, Communism, China, and Satan...I don’t see any problem here, do you?

Interesting development! Now there are TWO Starships on the launch pad.

FAA is holding up the launch out of “safety concerns”, FAA does not state what safety concerns there are.

If the FAA had treated NASA in the 1960s they way they are now treating Elon Musk now, this pilot would have been grounded and someone other than Neil Armstrong would have walked on the Moon

Just a side note, but isn’t NASA also a political appointment? Is Jim Bridenstine still NASA Administrator? I know he and Elon seemed to work well together.

Maybe a Xiden appointee to NASA may suddenly have to “rethink” their relationship with SpaceX.....

My opinion on this is that Elon is being pressured to ‘bend the knee’

In order for SpaceX to keep doing business in the US, he will have to make a few changes.
1) Frequent large donations to the DNC.
2) No public statements that haven’t been cleared by a DNC censor. (No badmouthing any policies of the regime, or support of conservative causes)
3) Any official claims (e.g. election fraud has been completely debunked, or ridiculous COVID19 policies) must be accepted without question, and publicly repeated on demand.

If he doesn’t bend the knee - no future SpaceX launches will be permitted.

yes that is very true, SN8 didnt have enough thrust to land correctly. but the FAA needs to grant them a license or nothing will advance.

The democrats are now going to extort Elon Musk.
Pelosi needs free shares in his companies.
