The headline is extremely misleading.
1. SpaceX are not grounded at all. They launched a Falcon 9 today, and have a Falcon Heavy about to launch.
2. All launch providers are "grounded" when there is an anomaly, this is nothing out of the ordinary.
- mwint 4y agoYou're being downvoted, presumably because bird man bad, but this is 100% correct.
- refulgentis 4y agoThat’s true, They think bird man bad and They are bad.
- lisper 4y agoNeither of you are 100% correct. Starship is grounded [1]. The rest of the SpaceX fleet is not. [1] https://www.space.com/spacex-starship-faa-mishap-investigation https://www.space.com/spacex-starship-faa-mishap-investigati...
- yellowapple 4y agoThat doesn't contradict what either of them wrote.
- lisper 4y agoThe original claim was that "SpaceX are not grounded at all." That is analogous to saying that "Boeing is not grounded at all" after the 737MAX was grounded. I would not consider either statement to be "100% correct". Part of Boeing's fleet was grounded, and part of SpaceX's fleet is grounded. It is true that only part and not all of either manufacturer's fleet was grounded, but to say that either one was "not grounded AT ALL" [emphasis added] is not accurate.
- mouse_ 4y agoI appreciate your clarity.
