Note also that the "SN8 flight" under President Trump - which achieve several milestones before having low gas pressure and failing the landing - is (supposedly) being retroactively marked 'in violation of flight license', and the FAA is giving Elon grief over SN9 's flight planned last Thursday.

Elon does talk the Left's talk all over the place. But his actions are efforts at actual solutions to the endless-free-money pits the Left wants their talking pits to be.

They aren't being open about the reasons the FAA has revoked flight authorization, but the leaks are to the Washington post -> Jeff Bezos company of willful agents. FAA posted "flight scrubbed" when normal (professional) terminology would be "SpaceX does not have the correct permit for today's flight yet." or similar.

There's also a new push for the EPA to give them grief, because rockets in swamps are unusual (looks at all our other launching sites ... counts the former swamp/wetlands).

Elon's response is to put SN10 - yet another prototype out there and start work for it to fly.

Next attempt: Monday. If the FAA comes to work that day.
