> If Elon didn't want things to be delayed so bad by the FAA maybe he shouldn't have launched on 4/20 for the lulz [..]

It's incredible that we live in a world where a statement like this has at least some veracity.

This isn't true, the original launch was set for 4/17 but was delayed due to an issue: https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/elon-musk...

Pretty much everyone following the first orbital attempt closely for months could tell that the 3 days delay was just bullshit to appease Musk.

I was following starship from the time when was still called ITS or BFR.
