The Obama/Biden/Harris gang are after Elon Musk.
The crooked Biden/Obama/Harris gang shut down Elon Musk’s SpaceX and blamed it on the company’s recent issues landing some rockets. Is this the real reason or is it punishment for Musk aligning with President Trump.
USA Today reports:
Two crucial crewed SpaceX missions could be in jeopardy after federal regulators grounded the company’s Falcon 9 rockets to investigate the cause of a fiery landing mishap following a successful Wednesday satellite launch.
SpaceX has been looking for a viable window to launch four private astronauts into orbit on the Polaris Dawn mission, where the crew hopes to become the first commercial spacefarers to conduct a spacewalk. The launch has already been delayed three times.
And next month, two NASA astronauts were scheduled to travel to the International Space Station on Crew-9, a mission that would in February also bring home the Boeing Starliner test crew. Just last week, NASA determined that the Starliner is unsafe to transport astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore back to Earth following their June arrival at the orbital outpost aboard the Boeing capsule.
The LA Times reports:
SpaceX’s reusable Falcon 9 rockets have been grounded by the Federal Aviation Administration for the second time in two months after one of them caught fire, fell over and exploded upon its return to Earth this week.
The decision by the agency could further delay the historic Polaris Dawn mission, which will feature the first space walk by civilians. The crew, in a SpaceX Dragon capsule, will be sent to space by a Falcon 9, the company’s workhorse rocket.
The five-day mission was originally set to blast off Monday but has been delayed repeatedly for various reasons, including a leaking launch-pad helium line and unfavorable weather off the coast of Florida, where the capsule will splash down on its return.
The Falcon 9 that failed blasted off early Wednesday morning from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station and launched 21 satellites into orbit as part of SpaceX’s Starlink constellation, which provides space-based internet service.
