SpaceX will launch the mammoth Starship on Sunday in a launch window that opens at 5 AM PST (7 AM local time) from the company’s Starbase site in southeast Texas. This flight, which will be the fifth in the Starship development program, is coming a little sooner than expected: the Federal Aviation Administration had previously said that it did not anticipate issuing a modified launch license for this test before late November.

    Cool, then get NASA to actually do something vs hamstringing itself with bureaucrats…the only reason people like you rage against SpaceX is because it’s tied to that idiot musk.

        You’re joking right? No they have not… I love NASA, but acting like what spacex has done is only because of NASA is bullshit.

            SpaceX insisted on fixed price contracts. Unlike the other companies doing cost-plus contracts (aka unlimited money contracts), SpaceX sets a price on government services and then delivers for that price.

      NASA is hamstringing itself? Tell me more. I don’t know anything about NASA, but I would have guessed the bureaucrats were external.
