    Space is extremely regulated, SpaceX just gets permits approved to do anything they want because they’re extremely cooperative with the US military and CIA.

    Rocket Lab is a private rocket company that launches from New Zealand, but part of the company is in the US so they still have to get an FAA license to launch from any country. No matter where SpaceX goes they would need FAA and FCC licensing.
