SpaceX's President Revealed Why Starship 5th Launch Is More Important Than FAA Think...
This is truly a golden moment for SpaceX's era of innovation, as the company has built and launched the world's largest spacecraft, Starship, with features we could never have imagined before. However, the path to creating a new concept has not been smooth. It's unbelievable that a government agency like the FAA has hindered the country's progress due to outdated, cumbersome, and unacceptable regulations. Perhaps the FAA has not realized the true importance of Starship.
So, how will SpaceX make the FAA wake up?
Why Starship launch is more important than the FAA thinks?
Let’s find out on today's episode of Alpha Tech:
SpaceX's President Revealed Why Starship 5th Launch Is More Important Than FAA Think...
On September 25, Elon Musk's tweet calling for FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker to resign is a major public humiliation for the agency, as well as a stark warning to government agencies in general about their mismanagement in investigating SpaceX's launches.
However, that outburst was just the beginning. To further emphasize the significance of SpaceX, especially Starship, the person often seen as the driving force behind SpaceX's growth, Gwynne Shotwell, had to speak out against the accusations that have caused delays in Starship launches.
During a hearing on September 24 before the House Appropriations Committee, Gwynne Shotwell made it clear that the EPA's actions in regulating the Starship/Superheavy deluge system were “nonsense”.
“We work very closely with organizations such as the (Texas Commission on Environmental Quality),” she said. “You may have read a little bit of nonsense in the papers recently about that, but we’re working quite well with them.”

…On Tuesday, Shotwell maintained that the system — which she said resembles “an upside-down shower head” — was “licensed and permitted by TCEQ [Texas Commission on Environmental Quality] … EPA came in afterward and didn’t like the license or the permit that we had for that and wanted to turn it into a federal permit, which we are working on right now.”
…The state agency has said the company received a stormwater permit — a type that’s usually quickly approved — but did not have the permit required for the discharge of industrial wastewater produced by launches. That type of permit requires significant technical review and usually takes almost a year to approve.
The problem with this demand by both EPA and TCEQ is that SpaceX is not dumping “industrial wastewater produced by launches.” The deluge system uses potable water, essentially equivalent to rainwater, and thus does zero harm to the environment. In fact, a single rainstorm would dump far more water on the tidal islands of Boca Chica than any of SpaceX’s Starship launches.
