Whelp, considering the FAA seems to think the same as you…looks like we need to revise civil service protections and do to the federal agencies what was done to Twitter. Sorry folks!
Please remember that comments are supposed to get more interesting as they nest more. That guideline helps keep discussions from turning into flamewars or reddit style jokes.
It is telling, though, that the strongest argument against SpaceX seems to be whether they followed all the correct procedures rather than whether there was actually any harm.
If the facts aren't on your side, then pound the law I guess.
The area around the launch sites is used for neither.
As others have said, the letter of the law is being applied in a way that appears either punitive or corrupt. In all honesty if a few decades later it turned out that Bazos or Boeing were behind this I wouldn’t be shocked in the least.
“We can’t beat them with technology so we’ll beat them with red tape!”
The water is tap water. If it's toxic, then the source of the tap water should be punished for poisoning the civilian population, not the users of the tap water.
The fuel is just natural gas. Again, if it contains toxins such as mercury, then the source of the fuel should be punished because they are certainly delivering it to civilian users for cooking, or to industrial users elsewhere.
Why are we not hearing about those other linked pollution incidents!?
Or, is it that the pollution doesn't exist -- it is merely a sufficiently plausible fiction that is being used as an excuse to halt their progress?
Because from where I sit, it definitely looks like the latter.
Before you respond: Please very specifically explain why it is perfectly logical that there is no uproar about the "poisons" in cooking gas or the town water supply, but SpaceX's use of the same justifies stopping multi-billion dollar projects. But... not in any way investigating where the "poisons" might have come from. Just stopping SpaceX. No other actions. Just that.
How does this mixing happen? Consider the location of the deluge system and consider its right next to the ocean (which you really really shouldn't be drinking).
Do you actually think it plausible that any human could get sick when trying to drink their home water due to this discharge? Or are you just being contarian here?
Can you believe when you get dicked around by unelected bureaucrats for political reasons people get upset? They should know to listen to their betters!
No, they can appeal to the state to get them to do it.
But you still think parliament actually controls the government as opposed to Whitehall, so I understand why this may be a little intellectually challenging for you.
Of course Comrade, there must be consequences for these firms pushing Counter-Revolutionary content. They can have free expression, but they must realize these algorithms are causing great harm to the Proletariat by platforming such content.
Brother, the child asphyxiation challenge isn’t political content getting unfairly banned. They would only be liable for harm that can be proven, far as I’m aware, so political speech wouldn’t be affected unless it was defamatory or something like a direct threat.
