Re:Virgin Galactic flights grounded over Branson spaceflight... by seanhunter on Friday September 03, 2021 @02:24AM (#28401026)
I'm not sure that's the reason you're being downvoted. You could be being downvoted because the BBC article in the OP says that there was a New Yorker article and The FAA have said there is an investigation. You're concluding that the FAA is doing the investigation because of the New Yorker article. Another (perhaps simpler) explanation of the same facts is that the FAA were doing an investigation (either because of what the agents on the ground told them or because of the flight data or whatever) but it wasn't reported in the press (and the FAA didn't make a statement) until the New Yorker article came out.

Also you're probably further being downvoted because whining about being downvoted is a surefire way to get downvoted.
