Elon Musk, for years, has touted SpaceX’s compound in Boca Chica as the “Gateway to Mars” — the first point of contact from which his firm would launch its huge Starship to ferry astronauts to the moon and the crimson planet.
However, Musk now is apparently abandoning Starbase as his premier launch site.
He is turning the South Texas facility right into an analysis and improvement heart — and shifting most orbital launch operations to Florida.
But ironically, SpaceX has just got a serious hurdle from NASA for the Starship backup launch pad.
NASA wants Elon Musk's SpaceX to ensure its plan to launch its next-generation Starship rocket from Florida would not put at risk nearby launch infrastructure critical to the International Space Station.
The new hurdle further complicates and could potentially delay the launch plan for the rocket, which faces an already protracted regulatory review of its primary launch site in Texas.
SpaceX's proposals to address NASA's concerns, which include a plan to be able to launch U.S. astronauts from a different launchpad in Florida, could take months to get agency approval.
SpaceX last year accelerated construction of an orbital Starship launchpad at its facilities in Cape Canaveral, Florida, as an alternative to the rocket's primary test launch and development site in Boca Chica, Texas, which has been subject to a lengthy regulatory review set to conclude next week.
But one of SpaceX's existing Florida facilities, called Launch Complex 39A, at NASA's Kennedy Space Center on the coast of Cape Canaveral, is the only pad approved to launch the company's Crew Dragon capsule. NASA depends on that spacecraft to ferry its astronauts to the ISS.
SpaceX has leased Pad 39A since 2014 and conducted dozens of Falcon rocket launches out of the facility since its first use in 2017. Prior to SpaceX’s lease, Pad 39A supported 82 Space Shuttle launches from 1981 to 2011 and every Apollo Program launch to the Moon in the 1960s and 1970s, making it one of the most storied and well-used launch sites in the history of US spaceflight.

To be resolved, thank you.

It really does start to appear that politics is impeding SpaceX. EPA says they can't launch in TX so SpaceX builds a launch tower at Canaveral where rockets launch all the time. NASA says SpaceX can't launch there because it might imperil their access to space. If they don't approve the secondary site for Falcon 9 launches with astronauts, the game is up for their sincerity. They are impeding the US inexpensive access to space so they won't have egg on their face about the grossly expensive and non-reusable SLS.

[dyerarch]

I can't help feeling that the Bureaucracy is doing everything it can to thwart SpaceX.

[nighttow]

The government just won't leave Elon alone. The man is literally trying to help, yet they keep getting in his way.

[morganh]

NASA: we look forward to working with our private partners.

also NASA: We need to slow down SpaceX and hinder them as much as we can because they are embarrassing us.

[pauljmeyer]

SpaceX should be given permission to launch from its Texas "Star Base" until the Florida base is complete. After the great achievements of SpaceX in setting world standards with their reusable systems, it is absolutely unfair to frustrate their development.

[patrashdigger]

So Space X built this pad overnight and NASA had no idea

[thomasn]

This looks like NASA is just upset that starship outclasses SLS by such a wide margin.

[franklinmiller]

The government will NOT allow Starship to be approve to try to go up into space until they put their own SLS up into space!! But since delay after delay from the sls being able to launch will continue probably for years then so will government approval for starship's launch be delayed!! Then when everything ends in a big failure for the SLS. The government will still refuse to grant approval for Starship launch.

[matthewwiemken]

Build a backup. That's what a can do attitude means. If NASA is worried, they should find real solutions instead of making roadblocks:)

[davekoz]

Politics rears its ugly head. Polition s the bane of progress in this country.

[gijbuis]

An explosion of SpaceX Starship on pad 39a could be disastrous for SLS. But equally an explosion of SLS could be disastrous for Starship. And SLS has been leaking hydrogen, not Starship....

[joncsoriano]

Doesnt matter where it launches.. it will fly! Letsgoo spacex!!!

[thepetyo]

Funny that NASA is concerned about Methane when the use Hydrogen and clearly cannot manage it.

[tonywiegand]

Yes but they do not want Elon to eclipse their broomstick!

[ravd]

Scared ? Who makes these videos
Space x haven’t even got there starship to orbit yet we are approaching end of the year
They are still testing the engines on those boosters as well

[Ullr-elpu]

They should be worried about what the SLS will do when it blows up.

[ceejay]

"Crimson Planet"? Seriously?? Come on guys, have you never looked at it? It sure ain't crimson!

[nimrodquimbus]

Where did NASA say that they were, "So CONCERNED" ?

[Wayoutthere]

Can't we just get rid of politicians by now? I fail to see the purpose in advancing our race.

Amazing to see there’s no flame deflection at all suiting 32 Raptors … you don’t think for a minute the pad together with its six legs, the simple concrete floor and all internal electronics will survive multiple hourly launches to Mars … only after The Angry Astronaut will have given this issue the necessary attention the design will be improved … but for one single launch the OLM will certainly survive. Elon Musk we love you for your ongoing rocket show
