What are the issues that the FAA want to address? The devil is in the details. I agree that this program should be given special dispensation, and loosening of the "rules" as it is very important. Advocating that people at spaceX should be laid off seems chaotic to me.

I find it exciting that we may have a re-usable, heavy duty spaceship soon. I think one of the two will make the landing. The next flight.. it can be re-used, but will probably sit in a museum. For only the cost of some fuel, and minor refurbishment, major loads can be launched. This seems...

If they can return the sample at a fraction of the cost of the Apollo missions, Kudos. I suspect there may be more "asteroid" debris on the far side. The near side seems to be mostly composed of the same stuff as Earth.
