It's not that StarShip went boom that's the problem. It's that launching heavy lifters from Texas means there's massive risk that when StarShip goes boom it does so where it will hazard populated areas and commercial flight paths. Which has happened with both launches in 2025.
And the only reason he's doing it from Texas is politics, tax breaks and lax environmental enforcement. And now he's gutting the FAA so they won't be in a position to make any demands of him. I fear it's a matter of time till a life is lost.
