Senior SpaceX officials have expressed frustration with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), stating that working with the agency has slowed down the company's progress. The officials spoke with Ars Technica on background, highlighting the challenges they face in obtaining necessary approvals and licenses. SpaceX is urging the FAA to double its licensing staff to speed up the review process. The company's Starship vehicle, intended for lunar landings for NASA, is also being held up by regulations. SpaceX's collaboration with Israel to set up Starlink internet services for wartime communications amid the conflict with Hamas is another significant development. The talks aim to establish a backup system in case other communication systems are disrupted. The executives from SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Virgin Galactic are urging senators to improve the FAA, emphasizing the need for regulatory improvements in the aerospace industry.
