Elon Musk SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said his company is considering plans to turn part of NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida into a new location for its Starship rocket.
The space technology company has conducted some tests from its Texas location but is considering the addition of the new location as Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations have slowed approvals to launch the rockets from its location in the Lone Star State.
“It would obviously set us back for quite some time,” Musk said regarding another review by the FAA, according to the Wall Street Journal. The new change “would have to shift our priorities” to the NASA location in Florida. Elon Musk said SpaceX is ready to use a Florida location to test the massive rocket it has been developing if flight-safety regulators require an additional environmental review of a company facility in Texas https://t.co/lqM5gZ1nVw
— The Wall Street Journal (@WSJ) February 12, 2022 “We don’t have a ton of insight into where things stand with the FAA,” Musk said regarding the current FAA plan, according to Space News. “We have gotten sort of a rough indication that there may be an approval in March, but that’s all we know.”
The plan was expected to be completed in December but was later changed to the end of February.
If the report requires a more extended environmental impact statement, Musk plans to look to Florida to continue his launch plans. “It would obviously set us back for quite some time because an EIS takes a lot longer than an EA, so we would have to shift our priorities to Cape Kennedy,” he said in the report.
“I guess our worst-case scenario is that we would be delayed for six to eight months to build up the Cape launch tower and launch from there,” he […]
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
