Fallen Angels is not a how-to manual.

Fallen Angels shouldn’t be a how-to manual. However, I expected this to happen since the traitors to freedom are now in charge.

What’s the Soc Sec Admin think of this launch? The Department of Motor Vehicles? Ministry of Funny Walks?

This activity has not been so thoroughly vetted as we might hope.

Where is the government of the state of Texas in this? I thought Texans valued their independence. Or is that just talk?

It seems to me that beside Elon there are a bunch billionaires or factions representing billionaires that are deeply invested in SpaceX and part of this fight. If SpaceX looses the the investors loose big time so it would seem that they (SpaceX) probably have mucho powerful allies in this fight.

With this much money involved it is probably a no holds barred contest.

All is not lost – except for time of course.

ESG Hound has been on a one man mission (well, OK, he obviously has allies) to scupper SpaceX’s entire operation at Boca Chica almost from the beginning, so of course this latest delay is a cause for cheer for him.

This is purest horse-exhaust. I notice that your source is cheering the news, adding stuff about Musk’s “sexism”, because he’s a horrible person.
I left a comment [with a link] at Casey Handmer’s blog. I suggest anyone in the science community (which I’m not) make noise about this travesty.

Oh. They’re talking about the hulls of possible recovery ships.

So, does a freighter from the West Coast have to pass an interagency review before sailing into the Gulf?

This is madness.

They’re afraid a Starship water landing will introduce “invasive species” into the Gulf of Mexico? What kind of nutjob could even imagine such a thing, much less imagine anyone else would fall for it?

But of course, we’re talking federal bureaucracy here. So… never mind.
