We can all sleep well tonight, now that the FAA has “blessed” the findings of the SN9 incident. The development of any new rocket is going to have teething pains. The Atlas missile, that was the backbone of the Mercury space flight program, was plagued by early failures. In fact, even though the Mercury program had a perfect launch record, the satellite business for the Atlas carried about a 10% failure rate through the Atlas I & II versions.
OK? And who do you think is supervising whom William? Which of the two parties, the FAA or Elon knows the least about SN9? It’s not Elon.
Its not knowledge that I’m referring to its character. Not that I assign such terms to the FAA but Elon Musk lacks it and can’t be trusted.
Look at what he has done with Tesla, The Boring Company and his Powerwall.
He has a history of lies mistruths and disappointed customers. A list of broken promises and missed deadlines.
