SpaceX\u2019s investment in Starbase at risk<\/h2>\n

SpaceX has several reasons why in the document brought public by CNBC for why the company should be allowed to join in as a defendant. First, the FAA is a government agency and doesn\u2019t represent the same interests as a private company like SpaceX. The FAA could revert the decision on Starship launching from Boca Chica, Texas, and would not feel the same financial setback as SpaceX, who has already \u201cinvested more than $3 billion into developing\u201d the system.<\/p>\n

Second, SpaceX stated the precedent that companies could join a case when their company could be affected by the suit. SpaceX also said neither the FAA nor the plaintiff, a group of environmentalist and cultural heritage groups, have objected to tagging on.<\/p>\n

With $3 billion already spent and SpaceX stating they plan to spend another $2 billion this year on Starship, it\u2019s unsurprising that Elon Musk\u2019s company wants to help defend the FAA\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n
