Pretty confused about why SpaceX released this - it's a vague, whiney, entitled message, even if they're right!

Parts of the regulatory process are clunky, and the goals of an environmental assessment don't always align with the goals of SpaceX - that's the point. I'd be concerned if the company was happy with the process.

I don't want to write an essay right now. I know it's messy, and the process needs to improve. I just wish SpaceX had brought receipts before starting...whatever they just started.
