LIVE VIDEO: The launch window is open for the first orbital launch of a fully-stacked SpaceX Starship, the world's largest and most powerful rocket, which could play a historic role in taking people to the moon and eventually to Mars.
SpaceX tweeted they'll target a launch of the rocket as soon as Monday, April 17, with the 150-minute launch window opening at 7 a.m. CT.
Anticipating Friday's regulatory approval, SpaceX recently stacked Starship Prototype 24 on Super Heavy booster Prototype 7 in preparation for the upcoming launch. Together the fully-stacked vehicle stands at nearly 400 feet. SpaceX is scheduled to launch Monday in what is said to be the most daring leap yet in an attempt to ferry people to the moon and Mars. If the mission is a success, Elon Musk's remote launch site in Boca Chica in South Texas will make history. NBC 5's Candace Sweat spoke with an expert about the mission.
