SpaceX gets FAA launch approval, provided they fund interest groups

[Anomalocaris]

While I my loathing for Elon Musk is high and still increasing by the minute, and I am suspicious of Starship concept, believing it to be suspiciously close to being too good to be true and possible a boondoggle, I think the FAA decision bears all the hallmark of bad government that confuses responsibilities and dilute expertise to meet a thousand politically scrambled mandates du jour in the all consuming pursuit of greasing the squeakiest wheels rather than to further thoughtful priorities.

governing by catering to pressure groups is no government.
