SpaceX CEO Elon Musk on Wednesday said the official delay in obtaining a modified launch license for the Starship's second flight was unacceptable.
What happened to Musk's Twitter account, formerly Twitter.
He was replying to a user who flagged that the U.S. is not doing anything wrong. Fish and Wildlife officials still aren't going to begin a formal review of SpaceX's improvements since its first flight attempt and later explosion in April. The user added that the Federal Aviation Administration cannot provide the firm with a new launch license until the FWS consultation is complete.
The ongoing or future environmental reviews associated with Starship operations at Boca Chica do not predetermine the results of any ongoing or future environmental reviews associated with Starship operations, the company said.
SpaceX has implemented the fixes recommended by the FAA already for a second flight and is now awaiting a modified license, Musk said. SpaceX's initial launch license allowed it to conduct just one launch, and the company will now need a modified license to make way for more launches.
Tesla's decision to allow FSD transferability for 10 more days will be announced next week.
