FAA gives Starship green light<\/h2>\n

Just as Elon Musk said, the FAA has given SpaceX the okay to fly its second Starship rocket from Starbase, Texas ahead of Friday\u2019s launch attempt. The company has already stated that the window will open at 7:00 A.M. CT on Friday, November 17, \u201cpending regulatory approval,\u201d which it now has.<\/p>\n

It has been a long process for SpaceX to get to this point. The first flight of Starship took place on April 20 and flew threw the point of stage separation before the vehicle lost controlled. While it didn\u2019t make it to space, it did make for a great test for gathering flight data.<\/p>\n

The stakes are a bit higher now, SpaceX has only a few more years to get Starship flying regularly and working enough to serve as NASA\u2019s Artemis lunar lander. The company has made several changes after completing a mishap investigation with the FAA and the government agency has closed out its safety investigation into the vehicle.<\/p>\n
