After several government documents showed a potential November launch date for the second Starship launch flight, SpaceX confirmed earlier today that the launch could take place as soon as mid-November if it receives regulatory clearance for the world’s largest rocket. After conducting Starship’s first orbital test flight attempt in April, SpaceX has taken a months-long break that has seen the firm make several upgrades to its rocket and rebuild the launch pad for the second flight.
SpaceX’s latest Starship announcement came a couple of hours before it flew and landed the Falcon 9 rocket for the 18th time.
