I'd be all for just letting them blow themselves and their fancy rockets up but the FAA is right to be spooked after the flight termination charges malfunctioned during the first Starship launch. Orbital rockets and intercontinental ballistic missiles are the same thing, with Starship being the biggest ever built. Was more than a little terrifying to see that rocket first lose control then have it's self destruct fail to immediately activate. Major fuck up by SpaceX that is requiring them to jump through a lot of hoops to gain back enough trust for the FAA to authorize a second test.
