FAA extends comment period for SpaceX Starship/Superheavy environmental reassessment

Capitalism in space: The FAA today announced that it has extended the comment period for its environmental reassessment of SpaceX’s operations at Boca Chica, Texas two weeks until November 1st.

From the email announcement:

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has received requests for an extension of the public comment period for the Draft Programmatic Environmental Assessment for the SpaceX Starship/Super Heavy Launch Vehicle Program at the SpaceX Boca Chica Launch Site in Cameron County, Texas (Draft PEA). In consideration of these requests, the FAA is extending the public comment period.

The agency has also changed the dates for the two public hearings it will hold to October 18 and October 20. It will announce more information on those hearings on October 15th.

Genesis cover

On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.

 
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.


The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
 

"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

    Can someone explain to me what this leftist is actually trying to tell us about Musk’s futurism with this video?

    Cotour:

    I really can’t understand why Elon Musk bothered with such a shrill and vulgar woman in the first place. Well that seems over. After he has more than fulfilled his biological task with six children and has sexually let off steam with a number of women, he should – as a 50-year-old man – sublimate his remaining sexual energy like a monk and use it as a power base in the service of his self-chosen task: Conquest of Mars (but please without the participation of the left). He can shoot the latter on the moon (as we say here).

    Cotour,

    So she was just “seen” doing this, as the article says.

    Yeah, that does not looked staged at all. Esp the outfit that looks like something from a b-movie.

    As for the other persons call for him to curb his sexual appetite. I really do not think it is our business.
    That is one thing about pop culture and “entertainment news” that I really dislike.
    All the things those people do, and who they are doing it with are none of my business, and I really do not care.
    I hate that news agencies practically ram that stuff down our throats expecting us to care.
