Craft’s Future at Starbase: A Nervous Situation
The situation is tense! Starship’s future at Launch Site faces new challenges as the FAA has announced the cancellation of SpaceX’s proposal assessment meetings.
This could impact the schedule for Flight 5. In response, SpaceX has taken strong measures to protect their blueprints. Meanwhile, China’s recent rocket failures have resulted in considerable debris, escalating the risk in space. With so much happening, we have a lot to cover today. Let’s submerge into these topics in today’s episode of Great SpaceX.
FAA Cancels Starship Assessment Meetings
Last month, the FAA produced notable excitement among SpaceX enthusiasts with an update that suggested the possibility for up to 25 Craft launches per year. This promising development was accompanied by plans for public gatherings to further deliberate the proposal.
The agency had scheduled face-to-face meetings on August 13 and August 15, and a digital meeting on August 20. However, in a recent update, the FAA announced the cancellation of these sessions.
The official reason for this determination has not been provided, but various sources suggest that the cancellations may be due to disagreements from residents and groups.
These concerns include claims that the FAA examination process inadequately addressed safety issues, lacked sufficient language options in the review documents, and provided a short comment period.
Additionally, some oppositions have focused on the environmental impact of Spaceship operations, particularly noise concerns, although no harm have been reported to date.
The community’s response highlights the need for more comprehensive engagement and consideration before moving forward with the ambitious launch schedule.
And I also hope this issue will not affect Flight 5. According to Elon Musk’s prediction, the flight is approximately three weeks away. All the hardware is prepared; the only remaining hurdle is the FAA’s determination.
SpaceX’s Reaction to CNBC’s Criticism
Continuing with the challenges surrounding Starship at Spaceport, another factor in the FAA’s delay may be related to recent criticisms from CNBC. The news outlet has highlighted concerns that SpaceX may have violated regulations regarding water use and discharge during Spaceship testing and launch processes.
CNBC reported that SpaceX has been discharging polluted water into the surrounding area without the necessary permits from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) or the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The report also noted that the wastewater contained high levels of pollutants, including mercury, which could be harmful to both humans and wildlife.
In response to these allegations, Elon Musk tweeted: “CNBC sucks”. SpaceX issued an unusually lengthy tweet, demonstrating their strong response to what they consider to be an inaccurate portrayal by CNBC.
In their tweet, SpaceX emphasized that the “Starship’s water-cooled flame deflector system is critical equipment for SpaceX’s launch operations and it ensures flight safety and protects the launch site and surrounding area.” They clarified that the water used for this deluge system is potable or drinking water, and noted that similar systems are employed at numerous large launch facilities across the U.S. and globally.
Axiom-4’s Delay and China’s Debris Problem
In addition to the FAA cancellation and CNBC’s criticism, there has been another setback for SpaceX. Axiom-4, a mission to deliver private astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS), is facing a delay.
While no specific reasons have been provided for this delay, it adds to the challenges SpaceX is currently facing.
Meanwhile, China’s recent rocket failures have resulted in significant debris floating in space. This debris poses a threat to active satellites and manned missions, raising the risk involved in space exploration.
These events highlight the complexities and challenges that arise in the aerospace industry. SpaceX and other players in the field constantly navigate through various obstacles to achieve their goals and push the boundaries of space exploration.
