    You know,

    Last time dingledorf made a mess, there was consequences/investigations by the FAA. Now that this has happened, what are the chances it will be investigated at all or any consequence of dangerous actions?

    I wonder what people will die as a direct result of SpaceX going all Titan Submersible now that they aren’t held accountable, because Elon got in there and gutted the FAA.

      That was a flight test. This was a ground test. Ground testing is not a licensed activity with the FAA, so they have no reason to get involved here. (Per Adrian Beil of NASASpaceflight)

        Oh, yeah I guess that makes sense and is a fair point.

        But I still doubt SpaceX will receive any consequences for its reckless testing practices.
