Elon Musk: I, for one, welcome our new pasty overlord

man you said hagiographic :skull:

I could definitely be ignorant here as I’m certainly not an expert in the FAA launch licensure process, but my thought was that they already have their license, and just need some intermediary post mortem before being cleared to resume operations. If I’m wrong and they need to be re-licensed and go back-and-forth, my September guess is obv. big wrong. I also didn’t think the April launch was that big of a deal and wouldn’t be considered super abnormal for a test program of this scale, but opinions seem to differ there as well.

I criticize the 4/20 launch because Musk knew it was a bad idea and went anyway. It’s a pattern.

I’m just going by what’s in the media wrt to FAA procedures:

“SpaceX has submitted its final mishap investigation report to the FAA for review. That review is ongoing,” FAA officials said in an emailed statement to Space.com.

“When a final mishap report is approved, it will identify the corrective actions SpaceX must make,” the statement added. “Separately, SpaceX must modify its license to incorporate those actions before receiving authorization to launch again.”
