The company not being available to respond to those who question them makes for a mystery as to what their objectives were. What were the expected results? Did they expect an explosive landing?

Was it just an experiment with unpredictable result so they did not want to reveal that to FAA?

Do they think that they are at par with NASA and that any poor outcome can be waved as national experiment!

If I had to guess, I would say that it was an open ended experiment where they could not get approval for a launch so they avoided seeking approvals by playing it dumb and now they have the data that they wanted.

I would be wary of this company because they will experiment with human life believing that they are just another NASA but with even less regulatory boundaries.
