More on the FAA Hearing: https://www.cnet.com/news/spacex-starship-proposal-draws-vocal-public-support-some-criticism-in-faa-hearing/  "Dozens of people had the chance Monday to let the US government know how they feel about SpaceX's plan to begin orbital flights of Starship from "Starbase," the company's launch site in Boca Chica, Texas.   A majority of the public comments given during an online hearing held on Zoom by the Federal Aviation Administration were in support of the development of Elon Musk's next-generation space vehicle, which NASA plans to use in its Artemis program to return astronauts to the surface of the moon.  Essentially, it's humanity living off the planet, and it's very important for us to do that, " Errol Plata, one of the commenters, said in summarizing his reasons for speaking in support of SpaceX.   The hearing was held to collect comments on a draft of the FAA's Environmental Assessment for the program, which is required under the National Environmental Policy Act, before the agency can grant SpaceX a launch license for the first orbital flight of Starship.   SpaceX has already conducted a high-altitude flight and landing of a Starship prototype (following several flights that rapidly disassembled in the landing phase) and plans to send the latest version to orbit from Texas, followed by a landing of its Super Heavy booster on an offshore platform in the Gulf Mexico and a soft water landing for Starship offshore of Hawaii."  -Eric Mack from Cnet.com
