The FAA is in a pissing match with SpaceX. They are an organization that was setup to deal with 1 or 2 space launches a year. They don't know how to operate to accommodate the amount of launches SpaceX wants to have. So instead of changing or modernizing they flex. The old I'll show them who's in charge, will drive them out of business with paperwork and a bureaucracy. Who do they think they are wanting to expand Human civilization to Mars! Musk should just pay them off the way Boeing did.
