i do wonder how Musk is planning to get FAA approvals for SpaceX if the federal stuff is decreased. Is he going to wait many weeks, months, years like the others will be waiting or is he personally going to cut the line?
Or may be getting rid of FAA permits at all? Back to the time of great unlimited aviation and rocketry innovation. I personally have a bunch of non-traditional designs i'd like to get airborne/launched which if we lucky would fly and stay airborne on the planned trajectory and for the planned amount of time :)
- onlyrealcuzzo 2y agoWhy not just ignore the law like they're mostly doing already?
- wat10000 2y agoThe law only matters to the extent that it’s enforced. Get rid of all the enforcers, and you’re home free.
- ramses0 2y ago...and then the judges, so anything that does get enforced gets ignored. It's like someone bringing a lighter and matches to a board game tournament: "there's nothing in the rules against it..."
- utf_8x 2y agoYou don't need FAA approval if you cancel the FAA...
- exe34 2y agoHe'll just get his own account to approve his flights.
- philipwhiuk 2y agoSpaceX is taking over FAA contracts, I'm sure they won't have any trouble getting approved. Permits will be for the little guys.
- thrance 2y agoNo, he'll get to do whatever he wants, you won't. You'll have to bribe your way through a corrupt bureaucracy, like in every failing nations.
