FAA Declared 'SpaceX Must Have Same Boeing Safety Culture' While Dragon to Rescue Starliner!?
That's exactly what the head of the FAA, the aerospace regulator, just stated. According to them, Boeing is the safety standard that SpaceX needs to meet. Yes, you heard that right.
However, the performance of the two companies on the ISS tells a different story. In fact, SpaceX’s Dragon is set to rescue two astronauts who were left stranded by Boeing’s Starliner.
Is this another FAA misstep? Let’s dive deeper in today’s episode of Great SpaceX.
The controversy between the FAA and the rest will certainly not stop soon with the current situation.

Recently, in a hearing, California Congress, Kevin Kiley directly questioned FAA Administrator, Mike Whitaker. The FAA Administrator repeatedly mentioned safety issues and said that was the reason they punished SpaceX Falcon as well as the delayed Starship. Mike said: “So I think safety is in the public interest, and that's our primary focus” and the penalties are “the only tool we have to get compliance on safety matters”.
Interestingly, in this hearing, Mike Whitaker pointed out many unclear items that he said were SpaceX's violations. SpaceX then sent a letter to Kevin Kiley to point out the FAA Administrator's wrong arguments. This shows that the FAA is not working effectively from its leadership position.
But what I think caused the most controversy in Mike Whitaker's statement is probably the opinion related to Boeing, which I showed at the beginning of the video.

As he said, SpaceX has not ensured operational safety, including the problems with Starship and some recent problems with Falcon 9.
But that is clearly absurd. With Starship, the rocket is still in development, so problems are inevitable. If the FAA's argument applied to the entire industry, perhaps companies in the future would be extremely hesitant to develop rockets. With Falcon 9, its problems do not affect public safety and do not affect the flight target.
Regarding the Flight 5 delay, the FAA said: "I think the two-month delay is necessary to comply with the launch requirements and I think that's an important part of the safety culture".
And it is ridiculous that the FAA chose Boeing's culture as a standard for safety and said that it "needs to also exist with commercial space".
Boeing was indeed a giant in the past, but entering this century, this company gradually declined. In the aviation industry, Boeing sometimes had major failures, resulting in many losses of life. Other failures have usually happened.

To be resolved, thank you.

If he gets fired from the FAA, he'll have a job waiting at Boeing

[vaughanhill]

Why would SpaceX lower it's safety culture to Boeings Known lower standard !

[golvic]

I think this is political retaliation for Elon Musk's endorsements.

[-JustHuman-]

Boeing.... The people that builds planes their own workers won't want to fly in. The same Boeing that have had several issues with their spacecraft, some that where so bad the crew was left stranded in space.
It's insane that the FAA think that is a standard that SpaceX have to lower them self too.

[MrHoopSr]

What he means is Space X is so far ahead of Boeing, Boeing doesn't stand a chance of catching up without the help of government interference.

[donadams]

SpaceX must meet Boeing safety standards.... Is this a joke?

[antonyjharper]

They hate Elon so much they would rather risk the astronauts dieing than let elons team have a successful outcome!

[SurajGupta_D]

As an outsider, this sounds like political vendetta against Musk for supporting Trump

[someoneyouknow]

“Boeing” and “safety” in the same sentence is craaaazy

[diegosilang]

SpaceX adhere to REAL SAFETY

Boeing adhere to DEI safety.

[willamcombs]

So, SpaceX must lose 17 Astronauts in accidents to match NASA's safety record? 😑

[utubehanna]

FAA- “SpaceX has gotta match Boeing’s safety record”
Elon - “OK team, don’t put any bolts in the door.”

[th_CAV_Trooper]

No company on Earth should have the same safety culture as Boeing. They're a disaster.

[vdrmn]

Using Boeing as an example is laughable.

[stanleymcomber]

“Same safety culture as Boeing”, the same one that stranded the two astronauts?……
Yes, he should be booted.

[dougrigel]

SpaceX should be the safety standard not Boeing.

[tsiefhtes]

In the name of safety the FAA has strangled personal and light aircraft industry. Moreover the fact that they allowed the American commercial aircraft industry to take over and merge into the super conglomerate that Boeing is now is an utter travesty. Would Boeing have ever adopted its current numbers first, safety second attitude if they had any major domestic competitors in the marketplace?

[soaphelps]

Boeing? Safety? Culture?
Those words don’t belong together.

[kurtisb]

I’m sorry, which company has doors falling off its vessels again?

Which company is rescuing astronauts because of equipment failures?

[RickC_]

Boeing? Like "we forgot to put bolts on a jet door plug" Boeing
