will hopefully launch first orbital flight

#WILL HOPEFULLY LAUNCH FIRST ORBITAL FLIGHT LICENSE#

SpaceX’s Starbase is located in Boca Chica, Texas – near Brownsville – on the Gulf of Mexico.

That means that while there is no set date for Starship’s first orbital flight, an inaugural liftoff could come before summer’s end, especially in light of Musk’s follow-up announcements.

The FAA’s finding does not guarantee the agency will issue a license for SpaceX to operate in Texas, but it does give the company a clear and relatively simple path to approval. We will have a second Starship stack ready to fly in August and then monthly thereafter He said SpaceX will have another vehicle ready to fly the following month. I was in the high bay & mega bay late last night reviewing progress. Starship will be ready to fly next month. The notoriously chatty Musk was responding to one of his many follower on his favorite social media platform. While SpaceX’s official response has been muted, company founder and CEO Elon Musk said via Twitter Starship will be ready for an orbital test flight in July. It has been pegged by NASA as the main support vehicle for the Artemis mission that will return astronauts to the lunar surface. It’s intended to carry people and equipment beyond Earth orbit to destinations including the moon and Mars. Starship is an immense rocket, standing nearly as tall as a 30-story building. That’s provided the company takes adequate action to mitigate negative effects. The Federal Aviation Administration said on Monday (June 13, 2022) it has determined SpaceX’s plan to build, test and launch its Starship heavy lift vehicle from the Starbase facility in Boca Chica, Texas will “not result in significant environmental consequences” to surrounding sensitive wetlands and the wildlife living in it. FAA’s environmental assessment out at last! On Monday, June 13, 2022, the FAA issued its final Programmatic Environmental Assessment, moving the project one step closer to final licensing.
