SpaceX has cleared the final hurdle for launching its new giant Starship from Texas as early as next week on a first test flight.
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. —
No people or satellites will be aboard the 394-foot rocket. SpaceX will attempt to send the spacecraft atop the colossal booster around the world, from the southern tip of Texas all the way to Hawaii. The first stage will be discarded in the Gulf of Mexico and the spacecraft into the Pacific. No landings will be attempted for this debut.
The FAA said SpaceX had met all requirements, including safety and environmental. The license is valid for five years.
