The Gulf has a huge amount of petroleum eating bacteria because the Gulf has naturally occurring oil and methane seeps all over it

Odd that you never hear about environmentalists trying to clean up and stop those problems.

With the caveat statement “pending final regulatory approval”

Has FAA has issued a license?

Just got free supercharging for a few months. Road trip anyone?

I suspect that SpaceX’s competitors are behind some of the push on Federal Agencies and probably launder funds to the environmental groups who oppose SpaceX.

Deepwater Horizon already made a mess of the Gulf….and if they are worried about space debris—getting a fully reusable chomper up there is the best way to clear debris from orbit….in that Starship will limit expendable Falcon upper stages.

I think they felt they had to move.
