They just use the FAA and the EPA so their hands look clean. After over a year of test flights the booster and Starship have not flown for 1.5 years (May 2021). In 2021, there were 4 flights. 2022 there were Zero flights. Next flight is not until 2023 at the earliest.
Now that Artemis has flow, we only have to wait for the successful orbital flight of Bezos’ Blue Horizons, then **maybe** the StarShip project can begin again. Just depends on the level of Musk hatred.
