SN9 was delayed a few days due to SN8 not having proper clearances but it turn out to be a paperwork snafu. Post SN9, the FAA will be working with SpaceX to determine the cause of the mishap though Elon and company probably already know the root cause and will the delay in going forward with SN10 (already on launch pad) should not be too delayed. SpaceX has other projects and/or operational missions that are moving forward so the FAA’s involvement is a minor inconvenience and not the end of SpaceX as posted in other articles I’ve seen posted here and on the space news outlets.

I hope you’re right, but I doubt it. Why would the FAA be involved versus NASA? The FAA has rocketry experience and expertise? I smell a rat, a big rat, at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
