Trump orders relaxed rules for rocket launches, appearing to benefit Musk and Bezos | Donald Trump
Donald Trump wants to relieve environmental rules for commercial spaceship companies. One executive order He said that the increase in the special rocket ship industry, which he signed on Wednesday, was mandatory to increase the special rocket ship industry by 2030.
This means that according to the executive order, these companies can abandon the necessary environmental investigations within the scope of the National Environmental Policy Law (NAPA). Special field companies are required to obtain launch permits from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). And as part of this process, companies can be reviewed in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Law.
US transport secretary Sean Duffy named Trump’s executive order “visionary”.
FAA encountered criticism for reviewing launch permissions from space companies, while the environmental groups did not use NAPA reviews to require more protection on the launch sites of the agency.
These environmental investigations are required because rocket launches and upsnings can be largely destructive for local towns and residents with the natural environment. Exhaust, smoke feathers and launching sonic explosions can injure and kill endangered species, and damage fish and sea animals with detritus, dangerous material losses, fuel shifts and falling objects, one of the exploded rockets returning to Earth.
Trump’s executive order seems to benefit Elon Musk and his company SpaceX. SpaceX is trying to increase the country -wide rocket ship launches and descents. The company is included in a lawsuit imposed by the environmental groups for violating the National Environmental Policy Law; They say that FAA’s influence on SpaceX on extinct species does not make enough environmental assessment of rocket launches in Texas, Texas.
In April 2023, the case looked at SpaceX’s first launch of the massive Starship rocket in Texas. One day, the spaceship designed on Mars, dusting the launching ramp at the departure, sent concrete flying pieces away from 6 miles (10km). The explosion fired a grass fire that burned about 4 acres (1.5 hectares) state park and destroyed the nest of the bobwhite eggs and a collection of blue black crabs.
Jared Margolis, a senior lawyer at the Biological Diversity Center, one of the groups that brought the lawsuit, said, Jaredi Margolis, a senior lawyer in the Biological Diversity Center, said Jary Margolis, one of the groups that brought the case, said, “He said.
“Federal agencies to ignore the environmental laws of the motherland by allowing the knee to strong companies to twist the knee to the mainly dangerous and damaging us all,” he added. “This is not clearly in the public interest.”
In May, FAA announced in May that it allowed SpaceX to increase the number of starrs launch in Texas from five to 25 a year. Increase the launch From 50 to 95 a year, the Falcon rockets smaller than the Vandenberg Space Forces Base in California.
Trump’s executive order will facilitate an accelerated examination process to obtain them and other launch permits. Together with SpaceX, Jeff Bezos, who aims to increase rocket launches, will benefit from commercial field companies such as Blue Horizon.
The White House ordered on Wednesday. Last “deregulator action” Reform in the National Environmental Policy Law and eliminating the “burdensome value requirements ..
