SpaceX says it could launch its Starship rocket on its second test flight as early as this Friday, but it depends on one important thing.
SpaceX has said it could be in a position to perform the second launch of its next-generation Starship rocket this Friday, though it added that it can only happen once it’s received the nod from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
“Starship preparing to launch as early as November 17, pending final regulatory approval,” SpaceX said in a recent post on X, formerly known as Twitter.

SpaceX launched its Super Heavy rocket and Starship spacecraft (collectively known as Starship) for the first time in April, but an anomaly caused the vehicle to fail just a few minutes after lift-off, forcing the mission team to blow it up in midair.
