The Twitter mobile player displays no timestamp so seeking is pointless. Here it is on YouTube. https://youtube.com/watch?t=1h18m https://youtube.com/watch?t=1h18m. And here’s the transcript: https://lexfridman.com/elon-musk-4-transcript#chapter12_ai_regulation https://lexfridman.com/elon-musk-4-transcript#chapter12_ai_r.... I listened to the relevant section and there’s no indication that the shark question is what is blocking launch. In fact it is clear that question was already answered. > One of the things that was a bit of a challenge at one point is that they were worried about a rocket hitting a shark. > Eventually they managed to solve the internal quandary, and indeed the probability of us hitting a shark is essentially zero. It’s not clear to me that Fish and Wildlife has actually behaved unreasonably. I would expect them to ask about fish and wildlife.

If you research this a bit more it becomes clear that the survey has been the blocker, after the direct FAA checklist was cleared. Just google around, this has been bouncing around as an annoyance for a while in the space enthusiast circles so it's assumed knowledge in the context

  You provided a source and made an untrue claim about the content. The shark question may have been a blocker but you haven’t provided any evidence to support that.

    You're incorrect. I did not place any untrue claim about the content! -What is known is the survey thingy has been a blocker for Starship -The shark, and separately, whale, issues are things that are also relevant for Starship. But there is no info about implicit or explicit direct connection of these details to blocking status. A connection is just implied by you, not me.
