What Texas gov & SpaceX just did with Starship is more important than you think! Shocked others

As time passes, we can't predict when Starship's second orbital flight will occur. The delay doesn't stem from any issues with the vehicle or its engines, rather, it arises from The Federal Aviation Administration and environmental organizations in South Texas.
However, this is not the end of the road for SpaceX. Despite some agencies that tend to pose challenges, SpaceX continues to maintain a strong position, particularly thanks to the support of the Texas state government.
You might wonder, what exactly does this agency do?
Well, in reality, what they do for SpaceX is more significant than you might think!
Stay tuned as we dive and more in this episode of Alpha Tech!

It’s about time Greg Abbott speak up for SpaceX and Elon.

At this point, it's all about the FAA. SpaceX needs income from StarLink to be able to spend eyewatering money on StarShip and the Mars mission. The way to get that income is to use StarShip to launch another 10, 000 satellites...doing that with Falcon-9 isn't going to work. Pretty soon the F9 fleet will spend all their launch capacity just replacing older satellites that are out of fuel...and then funding will stall - and StarShip will be screwed. So there is URGENCY in getting StarShip flying regularly and reliably. So if the FAA doesn't grant launch licenses in a timely manner - humanity doesn't go to Mars. There doesn't seem to be much that the State of Texas can do about that...but sooner or later (and probably sooner) - Musk will be forced to relocate StarShip work to Florida...just to keep the program alive. So Texas needs to work harder to put pressure on the feds to get their act together...of do some clever law passing to somehow circumvent the FAA's reticence.

Wildlife activists never even heard of Boca Chica before Elon moved in

[ruthfieldbeck]

I am confused.

National
Aeronautics
Space
Administration

Why doesn't the aeronautics of NASA cover Starship'a launch clearance?

Besides, once launched, Starship spends very little time in the atmosphere, and it is not an aircraft, so why does the FAA have so much power here?

Great Show! I love the history lesson. As well as current events. It gives us a Greater picture of Elon Musk. Again Great Show! Keep doing what you are doing!!!

[jamesherron]

I’ve been asking this question for a while why did HE waste his money building this launch pad in the United States Mexico, Would have been a better better place to launch from, and a Lot less corrupt government to deal with

[ELECTRICMOTOCROSSMACHINE]

Really liked the show. Shout out to Humble, Texas!

[deweerd]

Great to see a government supporting industry

[Roarmeister]

To actually get to SpaceX's planned cadence, they will need MULTIPLE launch sites. Texas, Florida, ocean platforms, etc.

[tobyihli]

I just never knew! I never realized how many space launches there are, WAITING to LAUNCH! If every available launch were to happen right now, there will still be launches waiting to launch. My goodness! Never knew there was that much space business.

[dapdne]

The State of Texas has provided SpaceX with many financial incentives and Ted Cruise has verbally attacked FAA procedures and spoke of Texan support for NASA and space flight. Governor support is the latest in TX ❤

[andrewpawlowski]

Too much bureaucracy and politics and too little freedom for this project ❤

[dugiejoness]

It's wonder if E.Musk knew that Boca Chica was previously called Kopernik Shores

[madman]

no taxs for 10 years then only taxed at 27% after that is a sweet heart deal he wont get anywhere else

[joewilson]

How can you not understand the support of SpaceX that supply the starship factory and the different types of fuel that are used to launch the different rockets that SpaceX has and is building and testing to make a safer rocket for human occupation? Also the economy of the county in which SpaceX is located in.

[arturoeugster]

What is shocking in this episode is the fact that few, if any READ THE US CONSTITUTION, the Article I and the amendments.
Specifically the tenth Amendment and the reason there is the 10th. Namely the limitations imposed by section 8 of Article I .
Shocking!

[dwightlooi]

What needs to happen is the passage of a CONGRESSIONAL EXEMPTION from FAA oversight and the Endangered Species Act for the Boca Chica Space Launch operations. Why? Because becoming interplanetary and beating China is more important than a few critters and even a few lives. That is not to say that SpaceX need not be responsible for safety or damage to property. FAA and FWL or not, they are responsible for range safety and are still civilly liable for loss of life or property and any clean ups.

[fredmapes]

Texas should use the 10th Amendment and tell the Febs to go back to DC. The state and city have give Space X big incentives. Space X has also returned money to the community.

[raystevens]

Here is an Idea 💡 don't know if Texas could make the SpaceX/NASA otherwise buy having NASA name there and state of Texas would make the launch site part of NASA and because it's part of NASA they could have the same rules as Florida witch means they could get the launch going without out talking to the FFA anymore I think it would be a good idea Elon Musk should have someone from NASA to do inspection as the FFA so they can protect there inters everyone will need to work together for this to work I hope Elon likes this idea.

500k to renovate the aerospace industrial park aint shit, what did he buy them a new air-conditioner?
