Kal-El814 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Musk should have been high on amphetamines and smoking Lucky Strikes like our flyboys did back in the day when we were awesome. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 As someone who believes that SpaceX should be nationalized, even I think this is incredibly goddamned stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if it's better or worse that I'm defaulting to believing that there's no political motivation here and that it really is just being driven by people who still buy into the feds' official line on marijuana.

Otherwise they really can nail him over "drug free workplace" requirements for federal contracting if they really want to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is senator Shelby instigated this. He is a huge proponent of the sls, and hates SpaceX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Air Force cleared him I can't see NASA being able to go after it given Air Force National Security launches are significantly more important than a NASA launch. That just seems like an easy avenue for appeal with the GAO. The Air Force isn't going to want NASA to threaten it's contractor over crap, especially with Falcon Heavy about to get approval for Air Force missions.
