Concerned about the launch of SpaceX's Starship rocket in Florida could damage the space agency's launch infrastructure, NASA wants SpaceX to ensure that the plan for the Starship rocket launch will not put important property at risk or "No Starship launch in Florida".
Is SpaceX in big trouble?
This is the answer.
SpaceX Starship is something unprecedented in this world. It is an absolute technological marvel.
The complete rocket consists of the booster staged below with the sleek-looking and state-of-the-art Starship spacecraft on top, which is constructed with a specially formulated stainless-steel body. And simply put, it's the tallest and most powerful rocket ever built. Plus, it's reusable which means huge savings on launch costs and more money for, say, lunches.
As a result, to make Starship real is indeed a feat.
Put technical difficulties aside, regulations and red tape is another problem.
SpaceX CEO recently admitted:
"Something that we should be worried about is that the rules and regulations get more and more every year.
-In the past, war has wiped away bad rules and regulations, but also, we prefer not to have war as the means of getting rid of rules and regulations.
In the absence of that, what happens is there are more laws and more regulations every single year and, eventually, we won't be able to do anything.
-Right.
-So, we do need to be cautious about overregulating and having too many rules and regulations basically stopping innovation and actually ultimately limiting the advancement of civilization. "
This has obviously had a huge impact on SpaceX Starship.
The first is the FAA, which has delayed nearly a year to make the decision to launch Starship.
Now, the FAA gave SpaceX a tentative approval when the launch plan passed a key environmental review in June, but with 75 required changes to the mission profile that need to be completed before the license is handed over.
To solve this problem, earlier this year, Elon Musk decided to build another launch pad in Florida.
Unfortunately, more difficulties come to them.
NASA is worried that a failure of that immense and unproven rocket could almost instantly destroy what is currently the only launch pad on Earth capable of launching the space agency’s astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS).
