This is how butthurt they are about anything Trump did. Even if it's good or even neutral. They want to erase him. And if anyone is part of him, then they go too.

And then they'll get some dump trucks and haul the sand away from the beach. Then they'll fence the beach off and dump nuclear waste in the water.

They already took sand from the beach and dumped it in skateparks because kids were still having fun.

They made it a dirt bike track, instead!

I wonder what the backlash would be if Musk starts working with a foreign entity to get the job done that he wants?

What if he moves his rockets to Canada? To Russia? To China? They'd GLADLY take the new tech, and likely pay for a massive portion of it, too. Biden is a fucking moron and can't make one good decision for our country. It's heartbreaking.

DuelPorpoise 7 points ago +7 / -0

he probably wont go to another nation, he just bought a few oil platforms for cheap, all he has to do to skirt the FAA is just launch from those platforms as planned, only from over 200 miles off shore instead of about a hundred.

The FAA is increasingly being a faggot with restrictions.

They restricted it due to "safety violations of the last launch" and SpaceX launched anyway, or FAA cleared them at the last minute, there's conflicting reports.

Biden wants us behind the Chinese and dependent on the Russians.

The FAA is either in bed with China or they don't know what a feedback loop is and why fast iteration testing is necessary for something like this.

There were airplanes over head the day before when it was scrubbed. I do not believe there is an effort to fuck with Elon in anyway.

11
magacoder 11 points ago +11 / -0

His comments clears things up:

"Unlike its aircraft division, which is fine, the FAA space division has a fundamentally broken regulatory structure," he said on Twitter Thursday afternoon. "Their rules are meant for a handful of expendable launches per year from a few government facilities. Under those rules, humanity will never get to Mars." (The agency recently streamlined its rocket-launch rules, though that policy shift is not set to take effect until later this year.)

Government red tape because of either incompetence or malice.

Yeah it's only a coincidence they are becoming more aggressive towards Elon under this administration.

No Democrat would ever use a government agency like the FAA, EPA, IRS, or FCC to go after someone /s.

Elon didn't say they were being aggressive he is saying there regulatory shit is bullshit. That is a huge difference. I dont honestly care but these click bait bullshit headlines is bullshit. That is all.

5
magacoder 5 points ago +6 / -1

But they are being more aggressive now. Under the Trump admin they weren't enforcing all these bullshit rules. Why all the rocket launches and now it's a problem.

Democrats abuse regulations, what is so hard to understand about that.

-1
Pres_Trump -1 points ago +1 / -2

The FAA doesn't work that fast. If anything drastically changed in the FAA from the Biden Administration it would take 6 months at least. Elon is complaining about the FAA's Space Regulatory Issues regarding being set up to accommodate only a hand full of launches and not the thousands he wants to do in a year. The article is bullshit.

4
DuelPorpoise 4 points ago +4 / -0

policy changes aren't in play yet, this is regulation enforcement, a game where you can pick and chose which rules to enforce and how.

Now the FAA is enforcing existing regulations the biden way, demanding studies be overseen or performed by the right organizations, (the ones who lobbied, campaigned and donated to the politicians who put the new head of the FAA in place.)

trump was a de-regulator, at his peak, he took down 16 regulations for each new one, the difference in red tape between admins is becoming clear, before, the FAA under trump tolerated explosion after explosion without making unclear demands or unforeseen changes.

no one was even close to receiving an injured in any of these past testing RUDs, yet you can see a clear difference in how the FAA is handling them.

I'm betting Musk is really happy he bought those oil rigs now, I'm betting those future launch and landing platforms will be placed 200 miles off shore, not just because of the noise and safety issues, but because it's outside of outside of FAA jurisdiction.

'Fundamentally Broken' - Elon Musk Spars With FAA Over SpaceX Starship Launch Approval Delay

Elon Musk has accused the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of having a “fundamentally broken regulatory structure” after it failed to approve a SpaceX test launch – yet others have warned that rules around safety should not be taken lightly.

There was a DELAY, not a cancellation, of SN9 test flight. Back in December, SN8 was 99% successful, flipping and skydiving on its side, going back vertical, but very hard landing. Because of that FAA complained, then finally relented on SN9 test.

Biden won't be happy until everything reverts to the way it was 47 years ago when he was a freshman Senator. So far he has not made one single step towards progress. He has only rolled back policies that help Americans and the economy.
