Is it because this agency is too inefficient? Or is there a deeper reason, some hidden corner that we don’t know?Īn old joke is going around social media that if the Apollo program had to pass modern environmental regulations, America would never have landed astronauts on the moon. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) seems bent on proving the premise of that joke: It recently delayed its environmental review of SpaceX Starship orbital launches from that company’s facility in Boca Chica, Texas for a fifth time in five months. The latest announcement has caused a proliferation of conspiracy theories on social media.

The problem isn 't just the FAA, it's the government. The politician regime is made of stupid people who fund companies that then will help the politician to get relected in the future. The is why the regime, using the FAA and other people as their puppets, opposes Musk, who wants to colonize Mars, and other people who want to achieve goals that the government will never permit to be achieved. If NASA had at least 5% of the military's budget, we would have arrived on Mars by the 70's. And if it became more autonomous with government control drastically reduced, thus allowing NASA to follow their interests, the constellation program would have never be cancelled. Same for Jupiter Direct and the shuttle program.
And still, they would have continued with the commercial crew program, allowing for SpaceX to launch the Starship to orbit in 2021, if not in 2020, since they would receive way greater funding from NASA. And also, we would have never had the Senate Launch System, and probably, the Starship would be already entered operation.Įurope's Ariane and Russian rockets are stronger than American rockets. Starliner was launched on a Russian RD-180 and JWST and Mars rovers or explorers to the outer planets are launched on Europe's Ariane. SpaceX, ULA and Bezo’s rockets are great, but not ready nor tested yet.
For 60 years, America uses old Mercury 1-man and Gemini 2-man Titan and Atlas rockets, upgraded.
