SpaceX will launch the mammoth Starship on Sunday in a launch window that opens at 5 AM PST (7 AM local time) from the company’s Starbase site in southeast Texas. This flight, which will be the fifth in the Starship development program, is coming a little sooner than expected: the Federal Aviation Administration had previously said that it did not anticipate issuing a modified launch license for this test before late November.

You're joking right? No they have not.... I love NASA, but acting like what spacex has done is only because of NASA is bullshit.

because everything spacex has done is because of nasa. all spacex does is toss unlimited money at exploding rockets and pollute the environment and ecosystem

SpaceX insisted on fixed price contracts. Unlike the other companies doing cost-plus contracts (aka unlimited money contracts), SpaceX sets a price on government services and then delivers for that price.
