Launch abort triggered at T-58 seconds due to poor FTS signal. Proceeding into propellant offloading and investigation.

Scrub for the day.

tax payer dollars

Not really. SpaceX are paying for these tests. While NASA have agreed to purchase Starship launch services for the Artemis program, they aren't funding each test individually. The Starship contract for Artemis is fixed-price, not cost-plus. Whether SpaceX blow up one Starship or ten during the testing phase, NASA pay the same amount for the operational flights.

there was consequences/investigations by the FAA

That was a flight test. This was a ground test. Ground testing is not a licensed activity with the FAA, so they have no reason to get involved here. (Per Adrian Beil of NASASpaceflight)

Easy way to refer to the subset of fediverse platforms with threaded/nested comments, currently Lemmy/Mbin/PieFed, maybe SubLinks at some point.
