SpaceX is getting ready to launch its massive Starship rocket today - watch the livestream of the event here
The launch looks likely to take place today, pending regulatory approval – each flight must be signed off by the US Federal Aviation Administration. SpaceX says on its Twitter feed that a
Judge Eddie Treviño in Cameron county, Texas, which is home to SpaceX’s Starbase launch site, has issued orders for. In official documents Treviño had said specifically that these closures are for “flight testing”, setting out a window of 14 hours between midnight and 1400 local time. The fourth flight test will focus on getting Starship back from orbit and carrying out a mock landing of both it and the Super Heavy first-stage booster. A touchdown on land is currently deemed too risky, so both vehicles will make a “soft splashdown” into the ocean. They will use their engines to slow their descent, line up as if they were landing back at base, and gently plop into the water.
