The FAA under Biden has been slow walking launch permits for Starship insisting on long tedious accident and environmental reviews. I'm guessing is that will soon NOT be a problem:

Musk: "Yeah I need 10 Starship launch licenses this month."
FAA: "Ten?!? That will take months, and we'll need to do..."
Musk: "Do I need to call my close personal friend President Trump?"
FAA: "Uh...no sir, your licenses will be issued within the hour."

Can you imagine the stupid incompetent Dems trying to F up a very important business. That is partly a USA defense business. This DemonRat Tomfoolery will be out the windows now! Or right after Trump gets inaugurated!

Its not just the licenses - its also the EPA. Both must sign off on a launch. What holds up licensing is the lawsuits and accusations brought by local Texas and Boca Chica environmental groups - they have to be investigated true of false and most are false.
