Yes, and thanks for that.
A couple posters upthread explained it as well, as I’d not yet seen video re Starship having done it’s sep and gotten waaaay downrange.
Musk and the SpaceX team are doing amazing work, and would be even further along if the worthless Feds would get the hell out of their way.
Agree. Not just worthless Feds, but state, county and city government also are incompetent and many are worthless. State transportation departments can't fix highways so they contract it out, and private companies get it fixed in a fraction of the time and cost that the state projected. Gets worse at the city level. But the Feds are worst at overspending, delaying progress, and screwing up things in general.
I am surprised the feds let them launch the 2nd test flight as quick as they did. Rebuilding the launch pad and making improvements to the rocket in a matter of 7 months is awesome.
