SpaceX aims to launch Starship's first-ever orbital test flight soon after the review is done.
. During a livestreamed Starship update last week, for example, Musk said the company has"gotten sort of a rough indication" that an FAA approval may be coming in March."So right now, I think we're tracking to have the regulatory approval and hardware readiness around the same time," Musk said duringAn approval isn't the only possible outcome, of course.
"We actually are approved from an environmental standpoint to launch from 39A," he said."So I guess our worst-case scenario is that we would, I don't know, be delayed for six to eight months to build up the Cape launch tower and launch from there." SpaceX eventually aims to launch Starship from multiple locations. For instance, the company is also modifying two deep-sea oil rigs to serve as launch towers for the giant vehicle, Musk noted during the Starship talk.
