Boeing has plenty of money to buy red light camera for cities and take a percentage of tickets, but somehow don't have money to pay people to maintain aircraft.
Boeing has all their former executive working in the USA government, that's who they able to bypass all those satefy issues. F the USA government they are the most corrupt on planet earth.
It id now obvious that the Federal Aviation people must concentrate on public safety and fix the ground collision and runway incursion they are supposed to avoid, each of this neglected tasks are real and the FAA should be fined 690009 $ for gross negligence. The only tool to prevent FAA failure are the fines. Reeducate the Tower personel in runway incusion. Leave the space industry to experts. It is obvious that this FAA , aviation, has no idea what it takes to accelerate a booster to separation Mach number since commercial aircraft have no boosters but aircraft like the Concorde produce a sonic boom continiously . A million times longer than the single shock wave from a returning reusable booster that does need no runway , hence no incursion possible The confusion must be enourmous Restrict FAA aviation to their primary job: safe traffic flow on the nations airports where they still fail. With out paying a single fine.

Why do you care, you are no different from people that you accuse of inappropriate behavior. The complete absence of any self-awareness is quite hilarious.
Because we have a bureaucracy of unelected buffoons that think they can interpret policy to Americans at a pace and choosing of their own fucking program.
I worked at an aircraft factory in Denton Texas for Safran, The factory had previously been a Boeing factory and for some reason they still used the same inspection system as Boeing. What a joke, what a nightmare, how unwieldy!!
Yep the massive fines and government suing Boing is letting them off the hook. The FAA in the past tried letting the industry self-certify they met regulations. That’s how we got the Boing 737 Max crashes, Boing lied to the FAA to chase profits. Now the FAA has stopped allowing the industry to self-certify.
Under the plea deal filed in a federal court in Texas on Wednesday, Boeing would pay a $243.6m fine for misleading aviation regulators about software that played a role in crashes in 2018 and 2019 that killed 346 people
When an airplane crashes, 300 people die. When a SpaceX rocket blows up, it affects hundreds of satellites and can bring civilization to a screeching halt. Kessler Syndrome, folks. Google it. One mistake. Just one. And we are back to smoke signals and Morse code for the next 500 years.
Why Government agency cannot lead? Would you trust USA military or Russian military? Your FGuhrer Trump said he trusts Russian Gestapo-KGB more than CIA. Time to move to Russia then
@@adaslesniak But they did bow to Boeing even after Boeing got people ki ll ed… proving that it is indeed favoritism, which is better known as corruption in the context of go vern ment.
I may not be a fan of Elon, but I have to agree that this seems like a total hit job by the FAA Director. It's even highlighting how Boeing continues to receive massive funding from the government compared to SpaceX, and yet, it's SpaceX that consistently delivers.
Science is only science if it supports one ideology in particular. This new science uses something called 'consensus' (which shouldn't be confused with the dictionary definition of that word) as 'proof' rather than the scientific method most of us were taught in pre-woke times.
BY THE WAY... Back in the "Space Age" During which the USA Completed Projects MERCURY, GEMINI & APOLLO - the FAA had Exactly ZERO SAY IN ANYTHING RELATED TO Space Flight... MAYEE... We should consider REMOVING SOME Of the "Authority" Congress gave them during the 1990s' & Early 2000's...!!! 🙂👍👍
He is lying, the movement of the fuel farm was approved by both NASA and CCSF Range Safety for SLC 39. The fuel farm was in fact safer in its new location. At no time was this a safety issue nor the public in danger.
Of course it was obvious that SpaceX's Starship IFT1 under no circumstances would be allowed to launch before Boeing's SenatLaunchSystem. This time it looks like an other "B" is to be preferred, because of landing attempts. I'm not impliying anything. This is only how it looks. And bribery does not exist in the USA;• it is legal right to donate whatever.... 🚀🏴☠️🎸

@@hopefullyhelpful1 I'm well aware of the statistics, it isnt about the statistics, it's about the trust, something I actually have with my car and my bikes, and something I will never have with anything Boeing makes Also a bit of food for thought, the statistics that immediately popped into your head, are skewed and biased because of total production numbers, when you start to account for aircraft maintenance repairs that grounded the aircraft, in essence a breakdown, those statistics aren't something you want to be bragging about

"They need a license to launch. Also we didn't give them a license to launch since they don't already have one. 2 months delays are our culture" - Michael Whitaker. Meanwhile other companies have astronauts trapped in space for months lol
They have the licence for launch but they are pretty anal about safety and Elon always said that they were just a bunch of unbelievable pricks stalling on purpose because they were outsmarted
As a Certified Private Pilot, I can say that the FAA was one of few agencies I had some respect when I got my certificate (mid '90s). No longer. Id be interested to find out what competitors Whitaker has some sort of stake in.
It's crap like this which is why Elon has become so politically outspoken in the first place, bureaucracy and the weaponization of government has become unavoidable. "Staying out of it", is a luxury no one can afford anymore, not even musk.
So if he doesn't like how it works in the USA he can take his toys and play with them on a private island. You know, become a proper super villain, he only needs a white cat and he's almost there.
@@poruatokin Jokes aside, I don't think it's beyond him packing everything and going to South America or Africa and launch from there, abandoning the US. He's not even a US citizen in the first place.

The "misinformation" that reporter was upset about was when Elon said "Big Macs and Whoopers dont constitute a well-balanced diet." I heard she took that one pretty personal.
And they will keep being delayed until Boeing is successful.. Then the history books will mention Boeing.. And then the Gov will hire Boeing because they were first... Just dirty tricks.. Wining through cheating and not fair competition..
With the Brandon administration, brilliant people like Musk exposing their horrible woke/destroy America agenda are a threat to them and must be punished. That's the way Dems operate. Make up a crime to prosecute.... whatever it takes... truth or the Constitution are of no concern to them.
What rot! It was Trump who on day one of his position of President cancelled the proceedure of Boeing using the Aviation department to approve all new designs and alterations in their aircraft building !!! since that day people have been killed in crashes and aircraft pieces have failed...ie doors!
If the pentagon needed to fly a supersonic interceptor and caused sonic bang, would Fish and Wildlife impose a penalty on the flight authorisation officers??
Id have thought the space programme govt too. Letting some butterfly hunters frustrate matters of national security is a bit stupid. Cant see India or China allowing that.
Yes. They would send a fine to the 4 star general who authorized the flight. He would laugh and throw it away. They would send park rangers to the military base to arrest him. The guards would stop them with a battle tank. The end.
@@causewaykayak SpaceX is a private entity. If any other country started testing anything in the same league, or if they suddenly needed the thing functional, bet those approvals come through in no time right alongside a hefty grant. The bureaucrats handling the issue likely aren't science or space people, or they wouldn't be bureaucrats. They see the Falcon 9 landing boosters, and see that no other country is doing that yet, and rest assured that we're still on top. That makes them feel safe enough to play stupid games. They never learn enough about the subject to consider what Starship could enable us to accomplish in every other aspect of space exploration. They see a box and they are compelled to check it off.
@@jamesbair6158 understood . the implied question is why is the FFA doing SpaceX oversight instead rather than NASA?. FFA has nothing to do with space endeavors
Thanks for the great coverage. I hope SpaceX files suit against the false statements made about them by the FAA administrator. Hope you have a great and safe time on your trip to Europe.
I assume this goes all the way to the top. This goes back to the Biden/Harris administration who also showed how they think of Elon Musk when it came to EV and not inviting Tesla to major events. If you want this to end you will have to vote Trump and not Harris.
Wake up. That shit is happening because they've spent the last several decades building themselves Into Supreme overlords and that SURE AS SHIT includes control over certain outcomes every 4 years. Idk HOW that could be a surprise- the US specializes in overthrowing/couping countries sovereign elections/leaders and planting their own favorable person in place. They've done it to like 2/3 of the WORLD. Ohhh but no that could neeeeeeeever happen at home
FAA is a government organization. Biden can only appoint one person in the entire organization. If a report comes out, it is not written by that one man. Look where that one man came from and his background. He is not some doner appointed for making a massive campaign donation like some past presidents.
This guy wants tyo help make sure more people die in more plane crashes by gutting the only agency who monitors safety of planes. your freaking GENIUS. I bet you wear a red hat too. which explains the complete lack of intelligence in your thought processes.

It just needs new leadership, prob at many levels towards the top. The FAA is actually an extremely important but it’s clear they are politically motivated and I wouldn’t doubt Boeing is pushing behind the scenes because they look foolish right now.

@@avgjoe5969 Space enthusiasts care deeply about affordable, sustainable, efficient, innovative, spirited US space. Bloated, pork driven, incompetent, irresponsible Federal Agency NASA doesn’t care. NASA is intent on continuing their paychecks, increasing their budget… nothing else matters.
Has the reporter here checked the county cad system to ascertain the real owner of the property? I think the FFA ( three letter agency? ) is undoubtedly acting belligerently and unlawfully if Space X indeed does have a permit to launch. This would prove The FFA in acting purposefully in an unlawful manner. If this is the case legal action should be taken agains the FFA and Ang also personally against the Director if he is found to be responsible and therefore guilty of using his office in an unlawful manner! This may be a criminal offence!
A whole bunch of nothing answers and none of it was about safety. They’re suddenly worried about a sonic boom but weren’t never worried about a rocket launch which is why there’s exclusion zones for every one….
The sonic boom is from the returning booster. The larger the supersonic object, the stronger the sonic wave. The footprint of this Superheavy booster will probably be enough to break windows. Additionally, descending rockets create a sonic boom at lower altitudes than jet planes, making the boom even sharper. That's why Falcon 9 makes such a sharp snap. Also remember the Superheavy doesn't do an entry burn, so it's really going hypersonic when it hits the atmosphere. They probably had microphones on that buoy to measure the boom. That they didn't disclose the data in a report makes me wonder why.
Elon should be in prison for all the workers he's gotten injured at his Tesla factory in Austin, Texas. He doesn't care about you or the greater humanity. He just wants his and that's that.
I think you're projecting. FAA is annoyed with SpaceX as any one would be if you find a company doesn't follow the rules and regulations. I don't see "hate"
You know he'd throw you under the bus at any opportunity, right? He's not your friend. He's a billionaire who does what other billionaires do all the time: exploit. Exploiting people like he did with his factory workers at his Tesla facility in Austin, Texas. They have every right to hate him for how he's abused them. Many people have gotten sick and injured at that facility because of his anti-worker policies.
He really doesn't. Most regulation agencies in the U.S. have been quite cooperative with big business. This is one of the few times a business is held accountable in this country. Mind you, the FAA did start fining Boeing tens of millions of dollars for violations. Look it up.
This FAA chief is over his head, that's what those types do, what they can't grasp they fear and want it stopped, if you ask them why their "pride" causes them to respond with lying.
Ellie thank you very much for continuing to report on this issue. At least someone has a firm opinion on the matter. This is totally political, this is 100% punishment for Elon's political views. They can not afford to have such voice against them, he has to be punished otherwise others will also rise the voice.
Weird it is. Both are/were 'TEST' flights. The only real difference is NASA asked Boeing for the test and SpaceX is doing their own testing. Apples and oranges. It's all fruit to me.
Boing was fined by the FAA for the 737 Max and is also being sued by the government over it. Starliner was under NASA’s responsibility and not the FAA so the FAA can’t issue fines over that flight. Years ago the FAA tried to let companies self-certify to speed up innovation and cut red tape. The result of that was the 737 Max which is why that program was cancelled.
@@ellieinspace Do you think the reason for that could be that he tried to avoid disclosing proprietary info, even if it would help to justify the delay? (like the Raptor that failed to relight on IFT-4 landing burn)
This FAA chief is playing games - he has no good basis for delaying the next flight of the Starship. He needs to resign or be fired. Musk has done wonders with spaceX and Tesla and Neurolink along with other things. He has the ability to move Space X to another country or develop off shore capabilities for Starship. I agree this has become a political issue. Boeing sure has lost credibility when it comes to space technology and I don't understand why NASA still supports Boeing. Boeing management has failed the company miserably.
Why don't elon switch to India 🇮🇳 we have special discount for private space company from taxes even giving an island if he interested. Of course supply chain won't be interrupted with india geoposition. Australia can only offer island while India can provide skills and safety
How ever so correct you are. I have been a pilot for >65 years, and ever since the CAA became the FAA, the utterly incompetent, vengeful, truly evil, despicable attitude of the FAA, FDA, ATF, and essentially every governmental apparatus that has any regulatory authority or power, to an ever greater extent have become exponentially increasingly rude, incompetent, and often worse. Please notice that these rudeness, et al, tendencies are uniformly in areas where the leftist, dictatorial, mandatory "politically correctness" mentality dominates. To a substantial degree, the attitudes of the abovementioned persons tend to be distinctly opposite in areas where the fundamental value system allows people to honestly express themselves without having a virtual axe over their heads to be and think and feel in strict accordance with the dictates of the ever more dictatorial government. Sadly, and unforgivably, the profoundly irresponsible American public are evermore childishly narcissistic such that they utterly fail to put their absolutely critical responsibilities as a citizen of the greatest country that has ever existed in a FIRST position, vastly far ahead of whatever football, basketball, baseball, soccer, or whatever else might win or all other juvenile nonsense and pay extreme attention to what each and every generally always extremely corrupt politician, political appointees, judges (remember that they are first especially corrupt lawyers, then they always have to pay a minimum of several hundreds of thousands of dollars to the political party that is in power at that time, just to be considered for any appointment. That bribe amount skyrockets for any appointment higher than a municipal court judgeship.) If anyone, ever, is so incredibly foolish as to believe that any part of our incredibly corrupt so-called "Justice Department" is honest, no matter how much prevaricating propaganda indoctrination from the all controlling Rothschilds and their Rothschild Cabal minions have established mind control, each citizen positively MUST never believe that any politician, judge, political appointee, or anyone else except, hopefully, possibly your family ever actually cares about you. Never. No matter what they say. No matter how many famous people repeat their lies. The only thing that politicians care about is themselves and their power.
Has noting to do with Elon. They like to push paper. That is their job. It is all they do. Like if Elon was speeding in a Tesla and got a ticket for speeding and was also given a DUI for being drunk when he was pulled over. The laws still apply, but they should not. SpaceX should be above the law just like any military group is. Can you imagine the FAA giving a 4 star general a fine because his fighter airplane took off from the wrong lane at the wrong time to intercept a unfriendly aircraft over US airspace?! lmao
By that metric, they don't like Boeing either because they just took Boeing to court for over 200 million dollars. Stop acting like Elon is being persecuted.
I agree that the FAA has its fair share of nepotism toward Boeing. But they have started fining Boeing millions of dollars, and much more than they've fined Elon Musk. Tens to to hundreds of millions of dollars, in fact. No company should be treated with favoritism. Not Boeing. Not SpaceX.
The FFA has demonstrated it's inability to keep up with Spacex inovations. It's time for the FFA to step down on space matters. This should be in the hands of scientist's, not bureaucrats.
What is it with this administration? Nobody at any level of the administration can ever answer a straight question! It's always talk talk talk and say nothing!

@@jessemills3845 😁Good day from Goonellabah, NSW, Australia. No, I am not. I am 72 years old. I applied to NASA in 1974 to be an astronaut in the Apollo Space Program. I became an engineer. I was the project manager and civil engineer. I worked as an engineer in Singapore from 1999 to 2005. We designed and constructed twelve-kilometre tunnels with two boring tunnel machines and five stations. I also managed 160 engineers and architects. I have been a contract engineer since 1975, Constructing sewage and water treatment plants from Melbourne to Cairns and all of Asia. I am embarking on a significant six-month journey. I'll be circumnavigating Australia in two CYBERTRUCKs and a Tesla Semi, covering a substantial 22,000 kilometres. This journey is set to commence at the beginning of February 2025. 💥Elon shall help me.💥 I started in 1972 to 1974 when I received air pollution results from my contract with the EPA NSW governments. I did this because I used to live in Eastern Arterial Rd, Lindfield NSW 2070, Sydney, one of the areas with air pollution. I went on to expose the air pollution across Sydney and Newcastle. I was in pain arse of every EPA of all States across Australia. As we travel, we aim to meet all the Premiers of the States, including notable figures like The Hon. Anthony Albanese, MP Prime Minister, and The Hon. Chris Bowen MP, Minister for Climate Change and Energy. Fun fact: I used to grab coffee with Anthony Albanese in Lewisham. This adventure isn't just about the miles and the impact we can create. I'm looking to build a team of six to join me, with a special call-out for a camera and sound crew to document our journey. Women like my wife Kate are encouraged to apply as they bring relatability and the necessary driving expertise. I am vodie at end October. I will raise a minimum of AU$1,800.000.00. Those who have helped me the people and companies: 1. Nurses and Doctors 2. Base Hospital and Ballina Rehabilitation Hospital 3. NSW Ambulance Service-By the end of 2026, Australia will have Tesla Optimus robots and Robovan like ambulances. 4. All my friends who are worse than me and people who have helped me. Lismore GSAC Baths. 5. Neuralink will help those who are worse off than me. I shall take two Tesla Optimus robots. We are getting 30 Tesla Optimus robots for Northern Coast NSW by 2026. I had a stroke on 4 July 2019. My wife, Kate, saved me. I am now swimming 120 lengths, 25m, at Goonellabah Pool, which has a total length of 3,000m, three times a week. I will swim in 25 m and 50 m pools when circumnavigating Australia. 6. We shall have them for the disabled and elderly to help them in their homes or for anybody who will use them for any task they cannot do. They will be more intelligent than most people. 7. Promote of Tesla - Cybertruck, Starlink, Optimus 8. Promote the CYBERTRUCK to the State Government and Police forces of States. 9. Promote the Tesla Semi. We will use it for concerts and accommodation while circumnavigating Australia. The trailer of the Tesla Semi will be covered in PV, which will charge the batteries of the cyber trucks and Tesla Semi in places without chargers. I am promoting the Copenhagen Atomics reactor. Thorium encourages me, and it will be a Game-Changer in Energy. I am promoting Carnegie Clean Energy. Carnegie owns and develops the CETO® technology, which captures energy from ocean waves and converts it into electricity. We use the latest advances in artificial intelligence and electric machines to control the device and generate electricity most efficiently and optimally. We have a long ocean energy history with a record of world-leading developments. 🤗Cheers, Ian Cleland
There's video of an Aussie F-111 doing a supersonic pass at low level over a guardhouse style building. Shakes the roof, shatters windows, dust and debris blowing everywhere. Left the people with ringing ears for a few hours. A sonic boom is less dangerous to your health then standing in front of the speakers at a stadium sized rock concert.
On the tank farm and control center fines - on a F9 crew launch , the FAA waived those requirements for its launch license. Spacex then launched a FHeavy using those facilities AFTER that crew launch. And now the FAA says "hey hold on, these were perfectly safe for the crew launch, but for this NEXT cargo launch - ITS NOT SAFE" and now they want to fine them over it. Many many months later WTH FAA...
Well, there was that returning booster after, what, its 23 flight that RUD due to a weak leg. The problem is SpaceX is so far ahead of all others, that the FAA has to use any sort of BS to slow them down so Boeing and Blue Origin can try to do something right after years of trying and failing.
Ever since Musk said he supports Trump, there seem to be some very vague issues. Not at all related to safety, otherwise they would have stated it openly

Then finally, ask yourself, Do you want four more years of this crap?
You really think those are the only factors to think about when voting for a president? prices were also high under Trump. And safety regulations for environmental health and consumer safety were snubbed under his administration. Besides, you shouldn't be telling people how to vote.
@fredbugden3511 Let’s assume you’re right. Even so, the country was doing better in many merits under the Trump administration than the Biden/Harris one by a long shot, so if that’s the case the way Trump and buddies look out for themselves benefits me and other Americans more than the way Biden and Harris look out for themselves… Like it or not, the economy was *much better back then*
It's good that there was no FAA when the Wright Brothers went to Kitty Hawk. They might have packed up and went home rather than deal with the ideocracy.

So over leftist activists reporters dissing Elon! Loved Bill Nelson's response, it distracts you, it doesn't distract NASA! Nice work once again Ellie!
Leftist? You think every person that disagrees with Elon Musk is a leftist? Good grief. Not many people near Starbase like him, okay? Just accept that.
Weird rules. The FAA had no control because NASA was having Boeing do a TEST flight. NASA has nothing to do with the Super Booster and Starship, it's all SpaceX's testing.
NASA had responsibility for Starliner not the FAA as it was a NASA mission. The FAA tried to trust the industry to self certify in an effort to cut red tape and speed up innovation. Boing’s 737 Max killed that program and showed that you can’t just trust the industry to always do the right thing.
What a useless bureaucrat the FAA Chief is. The ratio of referees to builders is way out of wack in the US. Administrative Agency’s are slowing down progress!
interesting that a hefty fine is making 'safety issiues" disapear. Go get them Elon, soon you will be in a position to correct this mess. Trump/Vance 2024 with the dream team Elon, Tulsi, RJK, Jr, and Vivek. Amen & Amen
They are talking about the "Landing". It's one thing to drop booster-4 into the ocean, quite another to bring booster-5 back over LAND and catch the booster at the tower with the chopsticks. It's one thing to land on a circle at ground level, or a platform at sea. You can be 'off' a few feet and things are good. Getting back to the tower, then getting between the arms, AND not hitting the tower, AND coming to a near hover as the arms clamp the booster... Don't know 'how' it will turn out, other than it will be exciting. Fun times ahead!
Nope. Physics. Bigger ship faster landing, bigger boom. The thing is... a sonic boom is not a danger to anyone. "But it can make windows EXPLODE!" So? Who cares? SpaceX can pay for them. Send them a bill.
@@davidbeppler3032as a property owner on south padre who supports SpaceX and has watched almost every launch in person, I’d still rather not have to deal with replacing broken windows every time a booster comes into land. That’s get old really fast
Maybe Elon should consider moving the SpaceX launch facility to another country that would be more appreciative of the enormous benefits that SpaceX brings and leave the Luddites in the FAA to play with their paper clips. SpaceX employs thousands of people from all professions who are the best at what they do. Without SpaceX the US would still be hitching a ride on Russian rockets or Chinese rockets maybe.

I worked at an aircraft factory in Denton Texas for Safran, The factory had previously been a Boeing factory and for some reason they still used the same inspection system as Boeing. What a joke, what a nightmare, how unwieldy!!
The FAA let Boeing of the hook with the 737 crashes.
Two standards, smells like corruption!
Musk needs to check himself, Space X hasn't fulfilled its agreement and blown a few Rockets up with no explanation... Ground them....
Yep the massive fines and government suing Boing is letting them off the hook. The FAA in the past tried letting the industry self-certify they met regulations. That’s how we got the Boing 737 Max crashes, Boing lied to the FAA to chase profits. Now the FAA has stopped allowing the industry to self-certify.
Under the plea deal filed in a federal court in Texas on Wednesday, Boeing would pay a $243.6m fine for misleading aviation regulators about software that played a role in crashes in 2018 and 2019 that killed 346 people
When an airplane crashes, 300 people die.
When a SpaceX rocket blows up, it affects hundreds of satellites and can bring civilization to a screeching halt. Kessler Syndrome, folks. Google it. One mistake. Just one. And we are back to smoke signals and Morse code for the next 500 years.
Another Government agency director unable to lead, as well as unable to properly answer the questions
Why Government agency cannot lead? Would you trust USA military or Russian military? Your FGuhrer Trump said he trusts Russian Gestapo-KGB more than CIA. Time to move to Russia then
By leading you mean he should bow to private company... just like it worked with Boeing?
@@adaslesniak But they did bow to Boeing even after Boeing got people ki ll ed… proving that it is indeed favoritism, which is better known as corruption in the context of go vern ment.
they are working for the communists that is. biden hates elon
@@adaslesniak No, people are saying the need to follow the rules, which they don't here and din't with Boeing, but with Boeing they got people killed.
I may not be a fan of Elon, but I have to agree that this seems like a total hit job by the FAA Director. It's even highlighting how Boeing continues to receive massive funding from the government compared to SpaceX, and yet, it's SpaceX that consistently delivers.
This is very political, which at this point is enraging me, because politics should not be an issue in our vision of science and discovery.
Amen
This is why I keep making videos to bring attention to this
Science is only science if it supports one ideology in particular. This new science uses something called 'consensus' (which shouldn't be confused with the dictionary definition of that word) as 'proof' rather than the scientific method most of us were taught in pre-woke times.
@@ellieinspace Thank you for bringing attention to this. It is wrong the way they are treating Elon and all of his companies.
BY THE WAY... Back in the "Space Age" During which the USA Completed Projects MERCURY, GEMINI & APOLLO - the FAA had Exactly ZERO SAY IN ANYTHING RELATED TO Space Flight... MAYEE... We should consider REMOVING SOME Of the "Authority" Congress gave them during the 1990s' & Early 2000's...!!! 🙂👍👍
Just democrats doing what democrats do..
He is lying, the movement of the fuel farm was approved by both NASA and CCSF Range Safety for SLC 39. The fuel farm was in fact safer in its new location. At no time was this a safety issue nor the public in danger.
But, The FAA "Wasn't in Bed with Them!"

Nonono, they have to wait to improve safety until the FAA says that's okay.
Elon is going to clean house at the FAA

Are the FAA's Michael Whitaker and Axios' Niala Boodhoo both single? That seems like a match made in heaven. They have so much in common.
Remember when everyone was talking about FAA slowing things down on purpose? Others said "Naaah"
Well here you have it.
Of course it was obvious that SpaceX's Starship IFT1 under no circumstances would be allowed to launch before Boeing's SenatLaunchSystem.
This time it looks like an other "B" is to be preferred, because of landing attempts. I'm not impliying anything. This is only how it looks. And bribery does not exist in the USA;• it is legal right to donate whatever....
🚀🏴☠️🎸
I think they should put Whitaker in the cargo hold to test the safety functions on flight 5.
Government red tape has often been ludicrous and needlessly stands in the way of technological advances.
Did the FAA really just insist that SpaceX have the same, "safety culture" as Boeing?
LOLOLOLOL
Boing's "safety culture" is the exact reason I will never step on a plane, last I checked space x doesn't have whistle blowers mysteriously disappearing in "accidents" to cover up safety issues

Also a bit of food for thought, the statistics that immediately popped into your head, are skewed and biased because of total production numbers, when you start to account for aircraft maintenance repairs that grounded the aircraft, in essence a breakdown, those statistics aren't something you want to be bragging about

"They need a license to launch. Also we didn't give them a license to launch since they don't already have one. 2 months delays are our culture" - Michael Whitaker. Meanwhile other companies have astronauts trapped in space for months lol
They have the licence for launch but they are pretty anal about safety and Elon always said that they were just a bunch of unbelievable pricks stalling on purpose because they were outsmarted
But you don't need a license to vote!?!
Hoping on citizen and private business requests is trigger for him to get the fuck on it. We pay his fucking salary
As a Certified Private Pilot, I can say that the FAA was one of few agencies I had some respect when I got my certificate (mid '90s). No longer.
Id be interested to find out what competitors Whitaker has some sort of stake in.
It's crap like this which is why Elon has become so politically outspoken in the first place, bureaucracy and the weaponization of government has become unavoidable. "Staying out of it", is a luxury no one can afford anymore, not even musk.
So if he doesn't like how it works in the USA he can take his toys and play with them on a private island. You know, become a proper super villain, he only needs a white cat and he's almost there.

@@causewaykayak SpaceX is a private entity. If any other country started testing anything in the same league, or if they suddenly needed the thing functional, bet those approvals come through in no time right alongside a hefty grant. The bureaucrats handling the issue likely aren't science or space people, or they wouldn't be bureaucrats. They see the Falcon 9 landing boosters, and see that no other country is doing that yet, and rest assured that we're still on top. That makes them feel safe enough to play stupid games. They never learn enough about the subject to consider what Starship could enable us to accomplish in every other aspect of space exploration. They see a box and they are compelled to check it off.
Why is Boeing oversight done by NASA and SpaceX oversight done by the FAA
Because NASA has contracted Boeing so NASA provides oversight of the contract.
@@jamesbair6158 understood . the implied question is why is the FFA doing SpaceX oversight instead rather than NASA?. FFA has nothing to do with space endeavors
Boeing is still subject to the FAA with their launches
If you really want to scr*w someone call the FAA. If you want to make it home call NASA.
Just a hunch, but maybe it has to do with the fact that NASA is a government agency , a SpaceX is privately owned
Thanks for the great coverage. I hope SpaceX files suit against the false statements made about them by the FAA administrator. Hope you have a great and safe time on your trip to Europe.
This FAA should resign Incompetent!!! Let Elon Musk be the Head of FAA
He probably wouldn't want it but would probably know the right person for the job
Good idea
Did he really say that SpaceX needs to emulate Boeing's safety culture? I sure hope not
That's big money and DEI talking!!!!!!!!!
I assume this goes all the way to the top. This goes back to the Biden/Harris administration who also showed how they think of Elon Musk when it came to EV and not inviting Tesla to major events.
If you want this to end you will have to vote Trump and not Harris.
Wake up. That shit is happening because they've spent the last several decades building themselves Into Supreme overlords and that SURE AS SHIT includes control over certain outcomes every 4 years.

They've done it to like 2/3 of the WORLD. Ohhh but no that could neeeeeeeever happen at home
Yep all the way to Joe Brandon
FAA is a government organization. Biden can only appoint one person in the entire organization. If a report comes out, it is not written by that one man. Look where that one man came from and his background. He is not some doner appointed for making a massive campaign donation like some past presidents.
Agreed. That and vote in changes at the local level, if we all pick better people locally that becomes a national change
Remove the FAA from space regulation and cut their budget accordingly.
This guy wants tyo help make sure more people die in more plane crashes by gutting the only agency who monitors safety of planes. your freaking GENIUS. I bet you wear a red hat too. which explains the complete lack of intelligence in your thought processes.

Has the reporter here checked the county cad system to ascertain the real owner of the property?
I think the FFA ( three letter agency? ) is undoubtedly acting belligerently and unlawfully if Space X indeed does have a permit to launch. This would prove The FFA in acting purposefully in an unlawful manner. If this is the case legal action should be taken agains the FFA and Ang also personally against the Director if he is found to be responsible and therefore guilty of using his office in an unlawful manner! This may be a criminal offence!
A whole bunch of nothing answers and none of it was about safety. They’re suddenly worried about a sonic boom but weren’t never worried about a rocket launch which is why there’s exclusion zones for every one….
It’s honestly absurd
@@ellieinspace Thank you for making this news public 🙏❤️
The sonic boom is from the returning booster. The larger the supersonic object, the stronger the sonic wave. The footprint of this Superheavy booster will probably be enough to break windows.
Additionally, descending rockets create a sonic boom at lower altitudes than jet planes, making the boom even sharper. That's why Falcon 9 makes such a sharp snap. Also remember the Superheavy doesn't do an entry burn, so it's really going hypersonic when it hits the atmosphere.
They probably had microphones on that buoy to measure the boom. That they didn't disclose the data in a report makes me wonder why.
Nothing new, remember Concord
Are you saying a RISK analysis isn't safety now? You understand what the word RISK means don't you?
If this is politically motivated, which I suspect it is… He shouldn’t just be stepping down he should be in prison

To be fair to the FAA, they don't control Boeing either... but that's a whole other conversation with a whole other set of problems.

Strange, right before election not hearing about Ukraine and Isreal.
holy crap, just listening to the guy talk at around 4:40, there's just venom there. He HATES SpaceX. This guy needs to go.
I think you're projecting. FAA is annoyed with SpaceX as any one would be if you find a company doesn't follow the rules and regulations. I don't see "hate"
You know he'd throw you under the bus at any opportunity, right? He's not your friend. He's a billionaire who does what other billionaires do all the time: exploit.
Exploiting people like he did with his factory workers at his Tesla facility in Austin, Texas. They have every right to hate him for how he's abused them. Many people have gotten sick and injured at that facility because of his anti-worker policies.
He really doesn't. Most regulation agencies in the U.S. have been quite cooperative with big business. This is one of the few times a business is held accountable in this country.

Safety is in the public interest …..yet Boeing is not fined …
Weird it is. Both are/were 'TEST' flights. The only real difference is NASA asked Boeing for the test and SpaceX is doing their own testing.
Apples and oranges. It's all fruit to me.
Can't fine Boeing. They have paid off all the congressmen over the last 20 years. That puts them out of the FAA hands.
That's NOT true - Boeing has given many Millions of dollars to the American Govt. :)
They let Boeing do their own safety inspections on the 737 max aircraft.
Boing was fined by the FAA for the 737 Max and is also being sued by the government over it. Starliner was under NASA’s responsibility and not the FAA so the FAA can’t issue fines over that flight. Years ago the FAA tried to let companies self-certify to speed up innovation and cut red tape. The result of that was the 737 Max which is why that program was cancelled.

@@ellieinspace Do you think the reason for that could be that he tried to avoid disclosing proprietary info, even if it would help to justify the delay? (like the Raptor that failed to relight on IFT-4 landing burn)
This FAA chief is playing games - he has no good basis for delaying the next flight of the Starship. He needs to resign or be fired. Musk has done wonders with spaceX and Tesla and Neurolink along with other things. He has the ability to move Space X to another country or develop off shore capabilities for Starship.

How ever so correct you are. I have been a pilot for >65 years, and ever since the CAA became the FAA, the utterly incompetent, vengeful, truly evil, despicable attitude of the FAA, FDA, ATF, and essentially every governmental apparatus that has any regulatory authority or power, to an ever greater extent have become exponentially increasingly rude, incompetent, and often worse. Please notice that these rudeness, et al, tendencies are uniformly in areas where the leftist, dictatorial, mandatory "politically correctness" mentality dominates. To a substantial degree, the attitudes of the abovementioned persons tend to be distinctly opposite in areas where the fundamental value system allows people to honestly express themselves without having a virtual axe over their heads to be and think and feel in strict accordance with the dictates of the ever more dictatorial government.
Sadly, and unforgivably, the profoundly irresponsible American public are evermore childishly narcissistic such that they utterly fail to put their absolutely critical responsibilities as a citizen of the greatest country that has ever existed in a FIRST position, vastly far ahead of whatever football, basketball, baseball, soccer, or whatever else might win or all other juvenile nonsense and pay extreme attention to what each and every generally always extremely corrupt politician, political appointees, judges (remember that they are first especially corrupt lawyers, then they always have to pay a minimum of several hundreds of thousands of dollars to the political party that is in power at that time, just to be considered for any appointment. That bribe amount skyrockets for any appointment higher than a municipal court judgeship.)
If anyone, ever, is so incredibly foolish as to believe that any part of our incredibly corrupt so-called "Justice Department" is honest, no matter how much prevaricating propaganda indoctrination from the all controlling Rothschilds and their Rothschild Cabal minions have established mind control, each citizen positively MUST never believe that any politician, judge, political appointee, or anyone else except, hopefully, possibly your family ever actually cares about you.

No, I am not. I am 72 years old. I applied to NASA in 1974 to be an astronaut in the Apollo Space Program. I became an engineer.
I was the project manager and civil engineer. I worked as an engineer in Singapore from 1999 to 2005. We designed and constructed twelve-kilometre tunnels with two boring tunnel machines and five stations. I also managed 160 engineers and architects. I have been a contract engineer since 1975, Constructing sewage and water treatment plants from Melbourne to Cairns and all of Asia.
I am embarking on a significant six-month journey. I'll be circumnavigating Australia in two CYBERTRUCKs and a Tesla Semi, covering a substantial 22,000 kilometres. This journey is set to commence at the beginning of February 2025. 💥Elon shall help me.💥
I started in 1972 to 1974 when I received air pollution results from my contract with the EPA NSW governments. I did this because I used to live in Eastern Arterial Rd, Lindfield NSW 2070, Sydney, one of the areas with air pollution. I went on to expose the air pollution across Sydney and Newcastle. I was in pain arse of every EPA of all States across Australia.
As we travel, we aim to meet all the Premiers of the States, including notable figures like The Hon. Anthony Albanese, MP Prime Minister, and The Hon. Chris Bowen MP, Minister for Climate Change and Energy. Fun fact: I used to grab coffee with Anthony Albanese in Lewisham.
This adventure isn't just about the miles and the impact we can create. I'm looking to build a team of six to join me, with a special call-out for a camera and sound crew to document our journey. Women like my wife Kate are encouraged to apply as they bring relatability and the necessary driving expertise. I am vodie at end October.
I will raise a minimum of AU$1,800.000.00. Those who have helped me the people and companies:
1. Nurses and Doctors
2. Base Hospital and Ballina Rehabilitation Hospital
3. NSW Ambulance Service-By the end of 2026, Australia will have Tesla Optimus robots and Robovan like ambulances.
4. All my friends who are worse than me and people who have helped me. Lismore GSAC Baths.
5. Neuralink will help those who are worse off than me. I shall take two Tesla Optimus robots. We are getting 30 Tesla Optimus robots for Northern Coast NSW by 2026. I had a stroke on 4 July 2019. My wife, Kate, saved me. I am now swimming 120 lengths, 25m, at Goonellabah Pool, which has a total length of 3,000m, three times a week. I will swim in 25 m and 50 m pools when circumnavigating Australia.
6. We shall have them for the disabled and elderly to help them in their homes or for anybody who will use them for any task they cannot do. They will be more intelligent than most people.
7. Promote of Tesla - Cybertruck, Starlink, Optimus
8. Promote the CYBERTRUCK to the State Government and Police forces of States.
9. Promote the Tesla Semi. We will use it for concerts and accommodation while circumnavigating Australia. The trailer of the Tesla Semi will be covered in PV, which will charge the batteries of the cyber trucks and Tesla Semi in places without chargers.
I am promoting the Copenhagen Atomics reactor. Thorium encourages me, and it will be a Game-Changer in Energy.
I am promoting Carnegie Clean Energy. Carnegie owns and develops the CETO® technology, which captures energy from ocean waves and converts it into electricity. We use the latest advances in artificial intelligence and electric machines to control the device and generate electricity most efficiently and optimally. We have a long ocean energy history with a record of world-leading developments.
🤗Cheers, Ian Cleland
great reporting A big Thank you to you Ms.Ellie!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent choice of topics. Very well delivered. Enjoyed
What level of sonic boom is considered hazardous? Just asking for a friend who lives near F-15 test flights.
It can cause windows to EXPLODE killing everyone within 10 feet! Right?
That is why your friend died living near a F-15 test pad.
I don't think there are people near 10 feet of starship during flight. Probably kilometres away.@@davidbeppler3032
AFAIK, nobody has died from experiencing a sonic boom of any kind, ever!
This is the gulf of Mexico. There is thunder louder then these sonic booms. The wildlife are used to it.
There's video of an Aussie F-111 doing a supersonic pass at low level over a guardhouse style building. Shakes the roof, shatters windows, dust and debris blowing everywhere.
Left the people with ringing ears for a few hours.
A sonic boom is less dangerous to your health then standing in front of the speakers at a stadium sized rock concert.
It is high time We vote in some fresh new young guardianship that loves FREEDOM
On the tank farm and control center fines - on a F9 crew launch , the FAA waived those requirements for its launch license. Spacex then launched a FHeavy using those facilities AFTER that crew launch. And now the FAA says "hey hold on, these were perfectly safe for the crew launch, but for this NEXT cargo launch - ITS NOT SAFE" and now they want to fine them over it. Many many months later
WTH FAA...
That is the smartest thing Bill Nelson has ever said.
I was kind of shocked and amazed how well he handled it
So if a leader lies he/she should resign? asking for a friend....
If he’s the chief of the FFA and doesn’t even know why spacex is delayed or even worse lying about why it’s being delayed then yes he should resign.
NO - UNFORTUNATELY The Unspoken "RULE" seems to be, You should ONLY be forces to resign IF You Lie - AND - Get Caught...! : (
no, he should go to jail for perjuring himself
@@nuttyDesignAndFab No one has ever went to jail for perjury.
@@davidbeppler3032 one can dream
"Requires the same level of safety we try to implement at boing" - so the problem of SpaceX is that their stuff WORKS?
Well, there was that returning booster after, what, its 23 flight that RUD due to a weak leg. The problem is SpaceX is so far ahead of all others, that the FAA has to use any sort of BS to slow them down so Boeing and Blue Origin can try to do something right after years of trying and failing.
Ever since Musk said he supports Trump, there seem to be some very vague issues. Not at all related to safety, otherwise they would have stated it openly
So it's Cards Against Humanity against humanity?
Read, ‘Cords Against Humanity’ 😂
Let him dump building materials on ur yard idiot. It’s was their land. They have the right to sue.
@@The_Mosaic
1. They are not using that land, it's in the middle of nowhere in a swamp.
2. They are admittedly trolling and have a political agenda.
3. "against humanity" is in their name, that's all you need to know.
@@andrasbiro3007 makes no difference, space X didn’t have permission to use that land. Or are u against private property ?
@@The_Mosaic Cute comment from a marxist.
Before you drive down to vote on November 5th, I urge you to drive over to your grocery store and do some shopping, then as you drive down to the voting precinct , stop and get gas, also bring all your utility bills to the voting booth and examine them to make sure of your decision. Then finally, ask yourself, Do you want four more years of this crap?
You really think those are the only factors to think about when voting for a president? prices were also high under Trump. And safety regulations for environmental health and consumer safety were snubbed under his administration.
Besides, you shouldn't be telling people how to vote.
And trump and friends will make none of that better? The only people they look out for are themselves and if you believe otherwise you're delusional
Danny, as you can see in these comments. You can’t convince these people 🤦♂️
@fredbugden3511
Let’s assume you’re right. Even so, the country was doing better in many merits under the Trump administration than the Biden/Harris one by a long shot,
so if that’s the case the way Trump and buddies look out for themselves benefits me and other Americans more than the way Biden and Harris look out for themselves…
Like it or not, the economy was *much better back then*
@justicia_azul ok but he didn't tell ppl how to vote. he just gave some reasons to think about how you vote. don't be so ignorant
It's good that there was no FAA when the Wright Brothers went to Kitty Hawk. They might have packed up and went home rather than deal with the ideocracy.
We lost the Challenger because it wasn't safe for it to launch.
not a fan of Bill Nelson but what he said was completely awesome.
Can he call Whiticker back given his misinformation and lies!
Way to go Elon! The FAA should be ashamed of themselves and anyone working there should find a new job.
You should find a job, period!
@@TheCrusher72sick burn man 🙄
@@Bushodai no I mean just what I said…
@@TheCrusher72 you’ve got this projection stuff down pat.
Don't tell me you actually believe Elon...
Wonder what the ratio is between Applied Science and Liberal Arts degrees at the FAA?
America loves Elon Musk.
😊😊😊😊😊 Musk is the man with the brain. Thank you for all your hard work Elon Musk
Who’s interested are the FAA serving?
The Democrats’
For Starters - THEIR OWN Interests... in Perserving & EXPANDING their Bureaucratic Influence...
And no doubt, these Starship "DELAYS" bring JOY to the Managers and investors in Boeing and Blue Origin... 👎👎👎
@@alesh2275 The Republicans. Same shit happened under Trump.
Democrats
Public safety
So over leftist activists reporters dissing Elon! Loved Bill Nelson's response, it distracts you, it doesn't distract NASA! Nice work once again Ellie!
Elon literally shadow bans reports he doesn't like. He's far from a freedom fighter. Don't be fooled by his antics.
Leftist? You think every person that disagrees with Elon Musk is a leftist?
Good grief. Not many people near Starbase like him, okay? Just accept that.
Another DEI appointment. She's dumber than mud.
Safety is the most important? How the Hell Boeing got the permit? Kissing Asses?
Not under FAA authority.
Weird rules. The FAA had no control because NASA was having Boeing do a TEST flight. NASA has nothing to do with the Super Booster and Starship, it's all SpaceX's testing.
NASA had responsibility for Starliner not the FAA as it was a NASA mission. The FAA tried to trust the industry to self certify in an effort to cut red tape and speed up innovation. Boing’s 737 Max killed that program and showed that you can’t just trust the industry to always do the right thing.
@@davidbeppler3032
Why not? It's a commercial product too.
Lobbying
Follow the money! Car seat kid go!! FAA is so behind the times also see, “follow the money.”
That dolphin cackle made me laugh and smile so much.
Thank you for that xD
Bahahaha I wanted to insert the bad word but I don’t wanna be rated R
What a useless bureaucrat the FAA Chief is. The ratio of referees to builders is way out of wack in the US. Administrative Agency’s are slowing down progress!
Great job Ellie!
Thank you Ellie, great video, shows sunlight on the issues.
interesting that a hefty fine is making 'safety issiues" disapear. Go get them Elon, soon you will be in a position to correct this mess. Trump/Vance 2024 with the dream team Elon, Tulsi, RJK, Jr, and Vivek. Amen & Amen
Every launch has a sonic boom. It's likely the same as for previous launches.
They are talking about the "Landing". It's one thing to drop booster-4 into the ocean, quite another to bring booster-5 back over LAND and catch the booster at the tower with the chopsticks.
It's one thing to land on a circle at ground level, or a platform at sea. You can be 'off' a few feet and things are good. Getting back to the tower, then getting between the arms, AND not hitting the tower, AND coming to a near hover as the arms clamp the booster...
Don't know 'how' it will turn out, other than it will be exciting. Fun times ahead!
Nope. Physics. Bigger ship faster landing, bigger boom. The thing is... a sonic boom is not a danger to anyone.
"But it can make windows EXPLODE!" So? Who cares? SpaceX can pay for them. Send them a bill.
@@davidbeppler3032 And exploding windows are not a danger?
@@davidbeppler3032🤣El gran concor no mató a nadie el fallo del gran concor si mató a todos en el avión..😢
@@davidbeppler3032as a property owner on south padre who supports SpaceX and has watched almost every launch in person, I’d still rather not have to deal with replacing broken windows every time a booster comes into land. That’s get old really fast
The FAA needs to get busy on airline safety and leave SpaceX alone
They are just a bunch of clowns that is all about the establishment
Maybe Elon should consider moving the SpaceX launch facility to another country that would be more appreciative of the enormous benefits that SpaceX brings and leave the Luddites in the FAA to play with their paper clips.
SpaceX employs thousands of people from all professions who are the best at what they do.
Without SpaceX the US would still be hitching a ride on Russian rockets or Chinese rockets maybe.
Kinda makes you wonder who Mr Whitaker is working for?
Boeing... probably
TY for All You Do Ellie, FAA Should Let All Really Expensive Corporation's Use there own timeline, Of Course with All legal, And Money Interests, Rapid Deployments All the time,.
🤠😎💙🙏
Lots of folks quitting Angry Astronauts channel, as he is in Elon hate mode with his last few videos.
I haven’t seen them, hmm
i quit him because he took my money for glasses, never shipped my glasses, and could not get refunded because it was past 6 months paypal coverage. he wouldn’t answer emails, or dm’s in discord, patreon. found that dishonest and no longer needed to support his agenda
@@machineenvyllc437 Really? Tell us more.
I notice how biased he was when reporting about spacex but unfortunately for him spacex is too successful to be ignored
@@dherman0001 That was the whole story. What more do you want to know? The color of the glasses?
