Enthusiasm waned among fans of space flight and Elon Musk Thursday as the Federal Aviation Administration shot down plans by Musk's SpaceX for the maiden flight of its giant two-stage rocket called Starship.

On Twitter, Musk indicated the space vehicle might launch this week. However, it ended up being the fourth time the FAA's Office of Commercial Space Transportation blew out the launch plan.

The agency still has yet to complete an environmental review, which began in November 2020. It now plans to release the assessment on May 31.

Since corrected to state that the environmental review is complete (as of 2022), and they hope to launch on schedule.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
