FAA places indefinite hold on SpaceX launches after failed Falcon 9 rocket launch

After nearly 10 years of successful flights in a row, the Federal Aviation Administration has placed an indefinite halt on SpaceX launches after a failed Falcon 9 rocket launch on Thursday. Gio Insignares takes a look.

Meanwhile Boeing has astronauts stuck in orbit and our FAA pretends like everything is just fine

Exactly Elon bad Space x bad Tesla bad

[@techietisdead]

@@amrcombs Falcon 9 has had 354 launches without failures in a row, which is more than thrice of second place and third place is the soyuz which regularly carries astronatus to iss

The Starliner is still in one piece. SpacePig's is in a million.

[@philliplewis3754]

President Trump is going to sweep the entrenched bureaucrats at the FAA and other 3 or 4 letter agency out of government.

[@guybeingaguy]

They should lock somebody up!

[@numberonespacexfan3715]

Incorrect! This does not affect Starship launches. SpaceX can still fly Starship as that's a completely different rocket. Saying the FAA has "grounded" the Falcon 9 is also misleading. SpaceX grounded the Falcon 9 first. SpaceX needs to understand what caused this anomaly and upon determining its cause SpaceX will decide on the course of action, not the FAA. Look for flights to resume sooner rather than later.

Btw....Who is the want to be godess who loves purple?? She does not look like a FAA or NASA or even Government Official.

[@stevennagley3407]

FAA doesn’t want space junk interrupting commercial aviation, but yeah there’s a possibility they’ll launch sooner than later, still needs to be approved by FAA

Let’s focus on BOEING for once !!!

[@CATDRL2]

You realize you showed a video of another rocket, the Super Heavy/Starship, instead of the F9. Sadly, you fail to see how intelligent the aerospace engineers and SpaceX that live and located in your viewing area.

[@sid6972]

I thought the same thing. They showed the Falcon Heavy in 1 or more clips.. ..and the want to be godess inputple all over....who in the hell is she?????

[@toymaster5464]

Why the video is showing a starship launch instead of a falcon 9 launch? Alittle misleading. 😮

[@christopheremanski3276]

I love how here showing clips of the WRONG rocket during 70% of this video. They switch between the Starship/Super Heavy and Falcon 9… learn your rockets. It like them talking about a Ford Recall and showing video of a Dodge.

[@Acehitman369]

This just shows how much FAA hates Elon Musk because Boeing gets a free pass with all the problems with their planes 😆

[@jkalibeelz4339]

Sure seems like a total political move.. This is getting outta control.

[@AmbientMorality]

Rockets are virtually always grounded temporarily following a loss of mission.

[@ladywisewolf3942]

Yep, the left is determined to find some way to tear down Elon no matter what he does. They still haven't forgiven him for taking over their propaganda megaphone Twitter, and allowing ( gasp!) free speech!! 😮

[@Novastar.SaberCombat]

Ah yes, the FAA is always looking for a way to punish SpaceX for any mistake when the entire POINT of certain missions and tests are to expect mistakes, learn, correct what you can, and prepare for the next experiment. If anyone expected perfection on the first few runs, they'd be in for some dangerous surprises. Such as Apollo 13... or Challenger... or Columbia... the Russian ship before Sputnik, etc., etc.

[@AmbientMorality]

This was an operational Starlink mission. Anyway, this is standard procedure for any launch vehicle failure and was entirely expected by everyone. Figure out the problem, do corrective actions, approve them, return to flight.

[@guybeingaguy]

This is the dumbest comment I’ve read this month 👍

[@guybeingaguy]

@@AmbientMorality No, the original comment is convinced the FAA is a vast right wing something hell bent on punishing a private company run by an idiot on its testing phase of a new type of rocket. He’s entitled to be ______________ .

[@queenofscots839]

Double standards… BOEing???

[@Acehitman369]

Boeing is donating Democratic Party,That why 😂

[@christopheremanski3276]

I agree Boeing sucks nowadays lol but the FAA isn’t picking on anyone here. Anomalies in the Aerospace industry happen quite often, and unfortunately ANYTIME a rocket fails during flight the FAA MUST investigate. So they’re not picking on SpaceX per say lol

[@BukuiZhao]

By the way also you do need to learn your rockets. Not all SpaceX rockets are the same. They have 2 currently in operation and another in development. At 0:50 that’s Starship, SpaceX’s new rocket under development. Not yet operational though. Same thing for 1:13. 2:05 like I said earlier only Falcon 9, SpaceX’s main rocket is affected by this issue, and their other rockets aren’t affected. To say that their entire fleet is grounded is quite misleading. 2:10 again that’s Starship not Falcon 9.

[@trebochet]

This Happens on the same day that elon musk make very large donation to the trump campaign 😮

[@lionleader]

It’s a spiritual thing, he’s off course.

[@roijoi6963]

Christian Evangelicals should note that God HATES the lying, cheating, thieving, philandering Trump, but nope, they just keep following what he lies, not what he lives.

[@wilfredodoch2326]

But the video is of Starship not Falcon 9

[@JakerTheSnake]

1:02 this is the expert? Based on what credentials and qualifications?

[@ahr355]

😂 could you at least do the bare minimum research and use video of the correct SpaceX rocket? Also I noticed they got feedback from NASA but not SpaceX. So with the only reliable spacecraft grounded I guess Starliner's astronauts are REALLY "NOT stranded" now... right NASA? 😂

[@turkey1337]

Didnt ULA had some failures back in the day with Delta 4’s but no grounding?

[@AmbientMorality]

Delta IV had a single partial failure, which resulted in an investigation and corrective actions taken forward for the next flight. I think grounding is exaggerating it a bit; the FAA won't give a new launch license without corrective actions, but that would be the case for any vehicle.

as stupid nasa has 2 stranded on the space station ??? that ok though ??

[@David-dl3vj]

But according to NASA and boeing, they're not stranded, everything's fine?????😉🤣

[@pc3903]

One incident in nearly 400 launches 🚀…..that is insane, don’t think people realize how amazing SpaceX record is

[@j-sin3344]

Grounded to fix a single issue? What about Beoing, they actually stranded humans in space. SpaceX is just putting hardware every other day, some times they send 2 a day. Pretty incredible IMO...

[@Dobie_ByTor]

“…a loss of crew as in this case.” Really?? More accurately, loss of credibility in reporting by talking heads. BTW, StarSHIP flights are not grounded. WHO lets this junk go on air??

[@AmbientMorality]

I think she was trying to say that Falcon 9 is certified for crew missions so failures can be more seriously investigated, but it was very wrongly phrased there.

[@roijoi6963]

The reusable first stage did NOT fail. The 2nd stage failed.

[@BukuiZhao]

Indefinite hold?? Not the correct term. On all SpaceX launches? Wrong. Only Falcon 9, Starship and Falcon Heavy are not affected by this.

[@MichaelJones-uw8gi]

But it's OK that two astronaut stranded when NASA AND FAA approved the Boeing launch.

[@scottlarson8422]

As incredibly difficult and challenging as space flight is, you will never eliminate the risk that goes along with it! The Space shuttle’s safety record was much worse then what SpaceX has achieved. People who think that you can eliminate all the risk out of space flight truly don’t understand it! It’s never going to be as safe as other modes of transportation. Nor are they ever going to be able to have zero risk to the general public! (Nothing has zero risk! The United States already do so much more to minimize the risk then countries like China, who routinely launch their rockets, over densely populated areas excepting the risk of human life having little to no control over their spent rocket stages that are inevitably going to have to land somewhere. It would be just like the government bureaucrats “FAA” to ground SpaceX for months longer then they should while letting our adversaries catch up or close the gap while trying to illuminate and zero the risk to the public, Especially since our adversary don’t concern themselves with such things as public safety!

[@lisamk117]

Best to trust other news sources. This woman is speaking far above her level of knowledge the subject matter.

[@cvelizh]

Well their app says next launch in 7 days

[@yourgotoproducer]

and… what about all the flight carrying 100+ passengers everyday? I’m so glad they pay attention to the uncrewed stuff! ☠️

Show the Falcon 9 not starship for hells sake

Former scientist? DEI hire that didn’t work out? Dressed like it’s her inaugural appearance on Tv as though she’s going to some upscale party. Why did she stress the LOSS of LIFE? Rockwell built the Space Shuttle that took life after life yet continued to fly. Boeing is having problems weekly with their planes that carry hundreds of lives at a time and at elevations more dangerous to high density populations on the ground yet they too continue to fly. Why is the news showing a rocket other than the Falcon 9? They showed the Heavy which has failed twice with expectation yet nothing was stopped. Could it be that Musk is now buddies with Trump?

[@mopthermopther]

sabotage

[@masoudhassan3981]

shame on you faa, you hanging on putin soyuz without spacex and now you hold on SpaceX launches ?its better for you to focus on boeing with over 10000 passengers in flight for each day, you learn everything about landing first stages from spacex you were student in these type science and now you manner like a master in this class? you kidding me!!!!!

[@lisaannkeith5480]

Nothing works perfectly every single time. They don't want to have another "Challenger-type" of disaster with SpaceX's F9, so the investigation by the FAA is warranted & will take as much time as they need.
