Senator Jerry Moran wrote to FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker that the agency's current oversight of a fast-growing space sector is delaying national objectives.

Moran is the highest ranking Republican on the Democratic -controlled Senate Commerce aviation subcommittee.

The letter adds to a chorus of industry frustration toward the FAA led in recent months mainly by Elon Musk's SpaceX.

SpaceX's rocket business currently dominates the U.S. space program.
