Elon has said SpaceX can put rockets on the pad faster than the bureaucracy can approve them. He said essentially this in his recent Rogan interview, and in at least one other interview in the last month or so.
That has been one of the biggest problems with the starship program.. SpaceX can get them to the pad, but they have no approval to launch. It has been near endless lawsuits and complaints from a handful of people.
The SpaceX problem is going to be monopoly.
Having slain the American competition, SpaceX is alone with all the business.
I bought an “Occupy Mars” T shirt yesterday to flaunt my support.
