Hoping SN9 & SN10 get launched soon, it appears yesterday's launch was scrubbed due in part to the FAA not granting approval. SN8 wasn't expected to make a successful landing so not sure why the FAA is putting up a fuss, space isn't easy and they aren't the first to blow up rockets.

The Verge article is light on detail, wonder what the exact issue the FAA has with the Boca Chica operation? SpaceX or any company obviously can't willy-nilly launch crap into the air, but the streamlined launch approval process needs to be finalized. It was given approval last year but still not in effect. Get it together feds.
