Elon Musk states Starship\u2019s first orbital flight in July<\/h2>\n

It seems getting this approval to fly by the FAA has sparked excitement for Musk. The SpaceX CEO shared on Twitter that Starship\u2019s orbital flight test will take place next July. This would be a poetic timeline since last year, Musk stated the orbital flight test would take place in July 2021.<\/p>\n

This new deadline comes following the FAA\u2019s mitigated finding of no significant impact (FONSI) on Monday. This means that the FAA will allow SpaceX to launch its Starship Super Heavy rocket from Boca Chica, but some items need to be addressed. There are over 75 different changes that SpaceX will have to work on before getting a launch permit from the FAA.<\/p>\n

Activity down at Starbase has been busy but not as flashy as it once was with regular ship testing and flights. However, more and more Starships and Super Heavy Boosters are being produced. By July, SpaceX could easily have a flight-ready vehicle, but the question is whether the FAA will be ready to sign off on permitting the launch.<\/p>\n
