FAA, it should NOT take longer to do paperwork to license a rocket launch than it does to design & build the actual hardware. This threatens America’s position as the leader in space. A 2-month delay to late November is unacceptable, SpaceX is ready!

FAA is not acting in America's interest by delaying Starship. This subterfuge is easily part of IPOTUS' #FederalAgencyWeaponization to attack its arch enemy Elon Musk, the enmity apparently amplified by Elon's endorsement of Trump. I can easily see the FAA's sabotage of @SpaceX as satisfying the definition of treason. The fact that FAA has blood on its hands for the 737 MAX mass casualty events makes the prosecution of bad actors within the agency more likely, IMO.

Hello….. @FAA_Mike we want answers as to why the hold up? Who told you to cancel the meetings in August? To slow walk clearance till after the election? Why what’s at play? What are we missing? What nefarious actions are you planning in space?

After election day of course

If the government is dumping 20,000 migrants from Haiti on a town of 40,000 people, you think they care about space flight? They have migrants to move fast.

You know who's behind this, right? Bezos is hoping to keep SpaceX from continuing their record place of development so that he can catch up. He's been pressuring the US Govt for a decade to do his bidding like suing Apple for being a monopoly in the book business.

This exactly is what killed innovation at NASA & why they privatized the space program.

It is done for political reasons Because if they land it successfully (perhaps even if they don't) and everyone looks at elon celebrating and then realize he's endorsed trump it helps trump win So they found a way to delay it long enough to stop that

I would hazard a guess the FAA is about to get a telephone call from the Pentagon.

Haters gonna hate!! Intentional slow down of progress. Friends at Boeing and Pentagon are nervous about your success. Maybe those astronauts need to stay up there a bit longer until they reach a launch date.

There comes the time, when innovation and accelerated improvements are hindered by the stupidity of people who created ways to prevent humanity from moving forward. Its called Bureaucracy.
