The regulators do it again.

grounded, again

I’ve been reading about jeff Bezos and other second-rater competitors of Elon Musk’s projects for the past year, and now another one of their efforts has borne fruit. EPA delays SpaceX Starship launch at least until the end of February, pending more environmental studies.

With the last FAA review, the agency will have to determine if a 'finding of no significant' can be issued or it needs to perform a more intense review - an environmental impact statement that would ground the Starship even longer.

They: competitors, NASA, the EPA, and anti-technologies alike, have fought Musk every step of the way, on every one of his projects. To quote one of my favorite philosophers, “get the hell out of my way”.
