Elon Musk's SpaceX is facing regulatory challenges as it seeks to test launch its Starship rocket more frequently. The company needs approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for its fifth test flight, but the pace of approvals has raised concerns. SpaceX has criticized the "superfluous" environmental analysis required for clearances and has sought faster regulatory approvals to work through technical hurdles. NASA, a key SpaceX customer, is closely monitoring Starship's progress as it has committed $4 billion for missions under the Artemis program. Environmental rules and violations have also added to SpaceX's challenges, including allegations of violating clean-water laws at its Starbase site in Texas.
