FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker stressed the necessity for SpaceX to operate at the 'highest level of safety' during a U.S. House of Representatives subcommittee hearing, justifying a proposed $633,000 fine for regulatory breaches ahead of two launches in 2023.
Whitaker pointed out that SpaceX's violations included launching without necessary permits in June and July of 2023. He underscored that such fines are crucial for ensuring public safety. Additionally, the FAA delayed SpaceX's Starship 5 launch due to incomplete sonic boom analysis and non-disclosure of legal violations.
Elon Musk criticized FAA leaders for allegedly penalizing SpaceX over trivial issues. Whitaker responded by affirming that all space companies, including Boeing, should be held to the same safety standards.
