” ... 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.
The FAA is involved as their charter denotes them as the ones to investigate accidents and to issue clearances. NASA is not the ones involved in these types of matters. The chatter you may have been seeing is the MSM gaslighting the readers in believing something that just aint so as they now have a reason to go after Musk due to his non-wokeness and non-PC play in the business world.
