> So ESG_Hound here has an issue with the FAA that they should not approve this application because it is missing data?
I don't speak on behalf of him. But... it seems that yes, the FAA is complicit in this thus far.
> If so, the FAA has a pretty functional portal for public comments on applications. I'm sure they have made their concerns known to the FAA?
The FAA public stakeholder hearing is tomorrow at 5pm. Yes. The idea is to drum up support before the public hearing.

> The FAA will hold two virtual public hearings to solicit comments from the public concerning the scope and content of the Draft PEA. The hearings have been moved to October 18 and October 20, 2021 at 5:00 p.m. Central Time. The FAA invites all interested parties to attend the meeting. Register to attend here.
By publishing the qualms of the PEA document SpaceX submitted, people will have the precise, technical arguments needed to ensure that the meeting tomorrow can go more smoothly.
----------
ESG_Hound seems focused on the natural gas issue. There's a few other groups who have studied the rocket-launch assessment side and have also come up with concerns.
-------
The process was _SUPPOSED_ to be SpaceX preparing a comprehensive PEA for the public to discuss. However, all sorts of details with regards to natural gas seem to be missing, which means that SpaceX has either purposefully, or inadvertently, sabotaged the conversation and the environmental assessment process.
All we'll be able to do tomorrow is point out how inadequate some of these calculations are on the PEA.
