The commercial space company completed a launch rehearsal of the massive craft Monday morning.
After a Monday morning rehearsal of SpaceX’s next Starship flight, CEO Elon Musk announced that the giant rocket could blast off a fourth time from South Texas in as soon as two weeks — but FAA approval is still needed. The commercial space company put Starship through a launch rehearsal that included loading the craft with thousands of pounds of fuel, running through procedures and stopping just short of actually sending the craft aloft.

The final rehearsal occurred 11 days before the last Starship flight that occurred on March 14. The Federal Aviation Administration’s approval is still pending as it awaits the mishap report for its third flight in March, the craft’s most successful so far.
