‘FAA Should Fine Boeing, Not SpaceX, For Astronauts Stranded In Space’

Elon Musk is at odds with the FAA, which recently fined SpaceX $633,009 for licensing violations during two 2023 launches. The FAA cited unauthorized launch control usage and a missed safety poll. Musk criticized the decision on X, claiming it misallocates resources and endangers lives. He pointed out that NASA deemed Boeing’s capsule unsafe, yet the FAA fined SpaceX instead of Boeing.
