New president is making his space policy increasingly clear: America will remain grounded for the time being
Sadly, the visionary goal of getting Americans to Mars first came crashing down when the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) which, under the Trump administration had allowed for SpaceX to conduct their important test flights, ordered Mr. Musk to cancel the Starship prototype test.
The FAA did not cite its reasoning behind ordering the cancellation of the launch.

The Rocket went up to ten Kilometers, glided back down, attempted a maneuver to Vertical to land and that's where they had a little problem.
A nice Fireball ensued when it hit the ground.
Soooo....Who’ll fly missions to the space station now?
We must slow down the Space Race so that China can catch up!
Elon Musk will move his operations to another country and I don't blame him one bit.
China told Biden to shut SpaceX down. Musk will find a way to continue, probably someplace else. Mexico, maybe?
apparently musk’s long range capabilities have some people spooked...
Wonder which oligarch benefits🧐
Waiting for Musk to move SpaceX, lock, stock, and barrel, to a more hospitable location. . . .
If Musk tries to move to Turkey or Mexico the Fedgov will quash it by restricting critical SpaceX technology from export.
OMG this really saddens me!! I HATE this!!!
Will Biden also disband the recently created Space Force?
You are correct.
Nullification ... this is the response the Texas gov’t needs to give to the commies.
Red states need to begin following this policy soon if they wish to retain any sense of Liberty.
These guys are something else. That they’ve overreached is clear to everyone sentient. The question is when it’s all going to pop.
You don't have to look to China for corruption, there's plenty of home grown graft to go around.
if he tries to move out of the US, Herr Biden will never let him take his tech with him, he’d be tied up in court FOREVER. It’ll be years before he gets to launch another rocket.
Musk and Trump just need to buy Epstien’s island and continue with the rocket testing there.
Fuck Xiden.
Musk gives to the ACLU but seems to have an independent streak as well. One wonders who he’ll be donating to in the next election.
ITAR would have him by the shorthairs if he wanted to do that.
I am thinking Mexico also!!!
One keeps thinking that citizens that pay the price for these commie/socialist leftist policies and oppression will rise up and vote against. But unfortunately we are seeing just the opposite when it comes to most Dems. They just take it and comply. That’s how we got in this mess. Wish they would wake up and rise up against.
