SpaceX plans Polaris Dawn launches on 6 September FAA gives greenlight
1) SpaceX is planning to launch a Starlink flight on Thursday (5 September) and its groundbreaking Polaris Dawn mission on Friday (6 September), marking two significant launches on consecutive days this week.
2) This particular Starlink mission will be the first since SpaceX experienced an anomaly with its latest Falcon 9 landing as the first-stage toppled. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) chose to ground SpaceX flights temporarily, requiring an investigation.
3) It then chose to allow SpaceX to continue operating Falcon 9 launches in a statement released late last week, where it said an investigation would continue. However, SpaceX would be able to operate Falcon 9 first stages.
4) My Take:

4) My Take:
• It shows the resilience of Elon Musk's SpaceX to recover from setback quickly. The Space exploration firm puts safety as top priority and balances efficiency in solving technical issues hence the delay in launches even after FAA has given the greenlight to go ahead.
• FAA's approval also showed the authority is satisfied with the SpaceX safety investigation and solution given. You can view the latest update of the Polaris Dawn Mission here at SpaceX X.com: x.com/SpaceX/
• Elon Musk is the CEO of Tesla and also owns SpaceX. The strong resilience company culture - problem solving efficiency and safety priority is also found in Tesla.

Kukuujiao : Why space x matter tagged under Nio page ya?
ZnWC OP Kukuujiao : It is explained in the post. SpaceX is owned by Elon Musk who is also CEO of Tesla. It is no secret that the 2 companies shared technology. Tesla and Nio are EV makers which can affect the industry. Many also post Nio's info tagged on the Tesla page.
