Biden cancels Elon Musk's adventures in space
Washington Times ^ | February 3, 2021 | Brandon J. Weichert

New president is making his space policy increasingly clear: America will remain grounded for the time being

Sadly, the visionary goal of getting Americans to Mars first came crashing down when the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) which, under the Trump administration had allowed for SpaceX to conduct their important test flights, ordered Mr. Musk to cancel the Starship prototype test.

The FAA did not cite its reasoning behind ordering the cancellation of the launch.

Apparently Musk is too much of a wild card and needs to be reined in by the elite establishment.

Musk can move. It will be expensive, given what has been done in TX, but it would be better to move and still grow versus stay in TX and have Xi and Xiden stifle you.

This is rather delightful.

Not only is Biden p!$$!ng off Trump supporters, all them lefties involved in furthering our space effort are gonna be upset him.

This makes me think that Biden's overloads in China want the upper hand in the new space race.

Just like LBJ, Jimmah Cahtuh, and Obummer, instead of space exploration, more money to Iran and the like!!

Once again, the high hopes of seeing future space exploration become a reality, has been hamstrung due to politics!!
Screw them all!!

Sounds like an inconvenience but it looks like SpaceX will be operating from a location outside FAA jurisdiction.

Anything that was good for the country previously called America is now bad. Oceania will not tolerate those activities and will do as our chinese leader directs.

Outer space belongs to China—if you wanna be an astronaut you better learn the language.
