      But I was referring to this specific situation - the FAA approved Starship to fly without closing the mishap investigation, as they should according to the rules. If they *hadn't* given approval, they would be bending the rules, trying to sabotage Starship progress.

    This decision makes sense. Failure is a result of testing. As we say in the software development business, you don’t learn much from success. You learn from failures. Same with space flight. As long as there isn’t a public safety issue and it’s just some fish who have to avoid stainless steel rain showers, let them test.

      @@cameronh3260 I'm an idiot, so I can't accurately describe how difficult it is to prototype EVERY single part of EVERY rocket without test launches. From interactions of propellant molecules at pressure, as it boosts out of a gravity well, decreasing the pull of gravity and the reverse on reentry.
      Structural compression, tension and shear shear stresses as the rocket goes up and then reenters. I'd rather 1000 prototypes blow up, than have a single fault during a manned mission.

    Are you getting old? Last year you knew very well why these last minute policies were followed. Also: there is *no* rule bending, and there is no real mishap when a rocket performs exactly like all other competing rockets on the planet.
    To prevent time robbing investigations, it would be more clever if SpaceX omitted the landing attempts from the official flight plan. If they mention it as a bonus, but not as a part that must be attended. The reentry of Starship is the most difficult part of the mission. Especially for something of that size.

    The reason they grant the launch licenses in the last few days right before launch is because environmentalists in Boca Chica have threatened to try use the courts to stop specific launches from happening. By waiting until close to the launch date to grant the license it gives those environmentalists virtually no time to head to court and stop a launch from happening.

      Reactions like this show the fate of the Angry Astronaut channel may already be sealed. The only good news is that Jordan's contact with the FAA graced him with this communication. That shows they haven't dismissed Jordan entirely yet. But more of the UFO weirdness will result in Angry Astronaut being frozen out of relationships with NASA, Sierra Space and other space agencies and companies, which will understandably wish not to join the UFO nuttiness. It's probably too late to split the channel in two to serve the two entirely incompatible audiences.

    The FAA is another of those US government agencies that needs a refresh / reboot as it has become so narrow thinking and risk adverse that it has a hard time seeing the difference between the passenger airlines and a development program.
    And I seriously wonder if the military industrial complex has to jump though all these hoops, I'd bet not because the FAA and the defense contractors have a revolving door employment backdoor scheme going on.
    All cultures / societies become Senescent and 'die' and some other political structure takes its place, I have come to believe that the US is in its final collapse and just hope SpaceX really does establish a colony out there to save the seeds for the future because I suspect what waits the US is very grim and dystopian

      Every country is responsible for activities in space, that are undertaken by any private company headquartered in that country. Doesn't matter, where on Earth the launch or landing actually occurs; the only thing that matters is that SpaceX is a U.S. company, and therefore the U.S. is responsible for any repercussions stemming from SpaceX's launch/landing activities. The U.S., in turn, has delegated that oversight responsibility for all commercial space launches, to a specific agency - the FAA.

    The FAA has figured out that this is a test program and not a commercial human rated launch? I guess boeing screwing up constantly is forcing the FAA to acknowledge reality just like NASA had to when they quickly approved dragon capsule reuse so spacex could take over the starliner missions that were already on the schedule. If the FAA kept slowing down spacex's ability to iteratively test and make their rocket safe, they would hurt the entire launch industry and prevent the moon missions from happening.
    Iterative testing is the only way to make a safe rocket. Companies like boeing and blue origin don't do iterative testing, so they don't care if the FAA doesn't regulate test launches differently than human launches.
