The FAA has suggested that a launch license for the second test flight of SpaceX's mighty Starship rocket could be coming as early as next month.
SpaceX chief Elon Musk is keen to send its next-generation Starship rocket on what will be its second crewless test mission after the first one ended spectacularly minutes after launch in April.Recommended Videos The latest news, which dropped via Reuters on Thursday, is that that permit could arrive as early as next month, clearing the way for a launch soon after.
An October launch would be a boost not only for SpaceX but also for NASA, which is planning to use a modified version of the Starship spacecraft — the upper part of the Starship vehicle that also includes the first-stage Super Heavy rocket — to make the first crewed lunar landing in five decades in an Artemis mission currently scheduled for 2025. But there’s still much testing to be done before then, so that date could slip.
