People often ask why the FAA is going after SpaceX, yet Boeing's Starliner suffered no consequences. So, we interviewed the FAA to find out.Featuring John "Das" Galloway (@KSpaceAcademy) and Dan Murray from the FAA.
It's a complex yet crucial topic: why hasn’t the FAA grounded Starliner despite its multiple thruster issues? We sit down with the FAA to understand the process behind flight anomalies, spacecraft vs. rocket investigations, and whether Starliner’s issues could trigger a grounding. Plus, we explore how FAA regulations differ for Falcon 9 and Starliner, and what it all means for future space missions.Commercial Spaceflight Data: https://www.faa.gov/data_research/com...CFR: https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-14...Title 51: https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?p...🤵 Hosted by John "Das" Galloway (@KSpaceAcademy)🖊️ Written by John "Das" Galloway, Alejandro Alcantarilla Romera and Adrian Beil.🎥 Video from D.

And this is, exactly, the type of post what I was referring to
SpaceX letter to Congress.The @FAANews leadership spends their resources attacking @SpaceX for petty matters that have nothing to do with safety, while neglecting real safety issues at Boeing. This is deeply wrong and puts human lives at risk.NASA deemed the Boeing capsule unsafe for astronaut return, turning, out of necessity, to SpaceX, yet instead of fining Boeing for putting astronauts at risk, the FAA is fining SpaceX for trivia!Enough is enough.
For context... we started the video concept like over two months or so ago when Falcon was grounded and people were asking in the comments why they didn't do anything with Boeing's Starliner. The timing of Elon's recent posts and this video is purely coincidental but quite funny5:55 PM · Sep 19, 2024
This is *somewhat* reminiscent of the bare-knuckled fight over national security launch contracts when SpaceX sued the Air Force for the right to compete. Will be interesting to see how it plays out and if there’s Congressional support. At any rate, Elon is digging in.
Is there a text summary of this video anywhere?
