I’d be inclined to see a couple of stand-alone flights of the upper stage before I tried another launch of the full stack.
Are you arguing that air traffic did not re-route for space launches prior to SpaceX?
Yea.... this has never happened in the entire history of the NASA space program.....
Let me explain: SpaceX activated the Flight Termination System “killing” Starship while it was at an altitude of 145 Km. Commercial planes fly at 10 Km. There was no danger at all ! Any debris re-entering the atmosphere at 19.514 Km/h will be burned down to small size!
One of the reasons to go after the FAA was so he could swerve the safety regulations that he previously got fined for.
Exactly why he wants to gut FAA. To stop investigations into him at the expense of the safety of others.
If it isn't shut down for at least 4 months I'll be sorely disappointed. The failure occurred in a similar part of the flight... They obviously thought they fixed it, but they didn't. This kind of thing shouldn't happen...
Damn straight look at helicopter operations in the DC area since the collision. Oh wait there aren't any.

If you use slowness as a proxy metric to measure safety or caution, you will find yourself calmed by the false sense of security and unprepared to an obvious adversarial attack.
Every day I'm thankful that SpaceX isn't public. x.com/Anton81191831/…
There's always the off chance that Big Balls decides to go rogue and shut them down anyway.
To the surprise of no one Elon still hasn’t acknowledged this failure
Now you understand why he is running the executive branch..?
To do more iterative design changes,test, and repeat..
Genius 
Not true , that’s not how investigations works, spacex is efficient and quick in their work and that makes it possible to do these test quickly
China just dumps their rockets on cities. The FAA can re-route, we need to iterate fast. The choice isn't between slow calm pleasant safe development and Musk's go fast and break things, it's between SpaceX fast iteration and the CCP dominating the global space age.
I don't know what the arrangement is exactly but it does seem like SpaceX should have to remunerate some of the costs here. Neither none or all of them make sense to me though.
When is enough, enough. It is incredibly hard to believe that there are no career people who say enough. doj, fbi, IC, anyone?
Yes, and Elon knows he owns outright. is basically impotent and has no ability to pushback.
Well, I don’t see USA beating China on this new space race to the moon unless SpaceX gets starship operational, so I hope they don’t temporarily ground the program cause time is ticking
Yep. He might actually chill out a bit so Trump doesn't fire him. Boca Chica would be fucked if not for him being where he is.
No one say anything about raining debris twice on the heads of those souls living in Turk+Caicos and Bahamas.
With his company Musk endangered the lives of hundreds of people. He can't get away with this.
I really can’t comprehend your level of derangement syndrome. This is the path of progress.
False on so many levels. This shows how little u know about the space industry
Looks like an impressively orderly response.
Innovation in space is for all mankind, and we're decades behind where we should have been.
And this is just another reason Elon went scorched Earth on Government! They should stand in the way of progress. Noone got hurt, and it used to be common to burn up on reentry
Oh come on now Chris, you can make good points without speaking completely from thine asshole 
Ok I’ll bite… show us what back to back incidents you’re using to make this claim

Hey Turd Byrd, there’s never airplanes in that zone. Here’s the sauce against your ridiculous claim.
> Heavy regulations, high awareness on environmentalism and sustainability
> Not getting economically crushed by China
Choose one US
FAA is stopping flights until SpaceX studies this and comes up with a solution that they approve of, you do realize that right?
Are you familiar with Apollo One?
China make this over million of people heads. In the middle of the country.
That would be great for human progress.. not! The idiotic decisions of the FAA with their current political climate would set us back decades.
