The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has identified 17 corrective actions that SpaceX must implement following the explosion of its Starship test flight in South Texas. Before SpaceX can proceed with its third launch of the spacecraft and the Super Heavy rocket, all these corrective actions need to be addressed. Additionally, Rocket Lab faces challenges with its new medium-lift vehicle, the Neutron rocket. Despite earlier promises, the company will not be ready to launch Neutron by the end of the year, as suggested by internal documents. This delay is likely to impact the Pentagon's efforts to increase competition in rocket launches. Furthermore, a congressional memo accuses Rocket Lab of misrepresenting the readiness of its Neutron rocket for national security launches.
