Starship’s fifth test flight is approved: where to watch the launch


Starship is go for launch once more.

That’s after the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) declared today that the company has “met all safety, environmental and other licensing requirements for the suborbital test flight,” reports Reuters. SpaceX’s goal for tomorrow’s flight is to return the Super Heavy booster to its launch site, which hasn’t happened before. It’s shooting for another successful splashdown of Starship in the Indian Ocean, which it pulled off for the first time in its fourth flight test in June.
