Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By 7: Curious, was the FAA controlling NASA's launches in the late 50's and 60's? Mercury, Gemini, Apollo Programs? If not, when did FAA start interfering with space launches? Government regulations are for the peons, not for government itself.

Not sure - but seems the FAA has a hard on for SpaceX because SpaceX is not using a goverment launch site for Starship. That said, I don't think the Goverment wants them to use the Cape - their competition really does not want them to use the Cape. All bets are off if Starship becomes operational - so the bribes are probably flowing on this one.

Yeah, I didn't think there would be much trouble in noticing it. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By JPN: Once the FAA 'gets into' something, getting them out of it is not an easy thing to do. Such is the nature of bureaucracy. History illustrates that once it gets in it usually takes nothing less than a full on barbarian invasion burning everything to ashes to get rid of it. We could probably use one of those. Not this piddly onesies, twosies, redsies, blusies nonsense going on right now that just entrenches the power of the existing tyrants. |

That makes about as much sense as having the Navy regulate commercial boat traffic. Give it to the Dept of Commerce or something. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By shooter_gregg: A scorched earth solution. Start new companies in other, more amenable countries. Transfer what assets can be to the new companies. Transfer IP to other companies. After all, they are just ideas. Hollow out all US companies and go bankrupt. All employees get new jobs overseas. Start operations with the latest iterations of equipment. Register all new developments with the friendly countries. US gov throws a fit and tries to bring it all back or arrest key people. US gov realizes the golden goose needed to be treated better. That goose is cooked. IP is itar |

For nearly two years, SpaceX has voiced its concerns with the FAA’s inability to keep pace with the commercial spaceflight industry. It is clear that the Agency lacks the resources to timely review licensing materials, but also focuses its limited resources on areas unrelated to public safety. These distractions continue to directly threaten national priorities and undercut American industry's ability to innovate.
