> that would have canceled the entire program today
The US government just delayed the next Starship launch by 2 months because of incorrectly filed paperwork.
It's not that SpaceX didn't file the paperwork... they just used the wrong form.
This is why our feet are firmly nailed to the ground.
If anyone actually cared to go to the Moon or Mars, then obstructionist bureaucrats like that wouldn't be in their jobs for very long.
Somewhere there was a space that said “do not write in this space” and the person who filled it out wrote “okay”… the FAA got ‘em now, SpaceX.
