This is a series, I on the world. I'm John Bachelor. I welcome Bob Zimmerman. He keeps the website behind the black. We're headed to Boca Chico, Texas, the home of SpaceX looking for the next Starship super-heavy launch. At the same time there's

0:18.3

word about the National Labor Relations Board. That doesn't sound very rocket friendly Bob. Good evening to you.

0:25.0

Good evening. No, it's not rocket friendly at all. The NLRB, the National Labor Relations Board, has a bunch of two I think different cases it's suing

0:35.3

SpaceX for various labor violations and one of those cases they actually

of the cases against SpaceX, the Federal Fifth Court of Appeals suspended the case so that the larger legal issue of the

1:56.3

existence of the N. R. B. could be addressed. And so what the N. L. R. B now has

What this means on a much greater issue than just simply the law fair against SpaceX
