John Batchelor and I welcomed back Doug Messier of Parabolic Arc to discuss the recent presentation made by Elon Musk regarding Starship, plus we discussed the FAA environmental investigation into Starship launches at Boca Chica which may cause delays for SpaceX and Starship. Also talked about were the SpaceX plans to use their pads at the Cape as a backup for launching Starship if they are seriously delayed or prevented from doing so at the Boca Chica site.  Doug had much to say about all of these issues and crammed in lots of good information into this one segment Hotel Mars program.
