show moreFor nearly two years, SpaceX has communicated to the FAA about its inability to keep up with the evolving needs of the aerospace industry. These concerns come in the wake of various issues identified with Boeing's Starliner, specifically its safety during re-entry.
The Starliner spacecraft, which recently transported astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore to the International Space Station (ISS), has faced technical difficulties that compromised its mission. Despite these significant safety concerns, Musk alleges that the FAA has not imposed similar penalties on Boeing as it has on SpaceX.
Musk's criticisms were highlighted by NASA's decision to move forward with plans involving the Starliner, even after identifying re-entry safety issues. The contrast in regulatory scrutiny and punitive actions has led SpaceX to question the FAA's consistency and fairness in enforcing safety standards across different companies operating within the U.S. aerospace sector.
