SpaceX gets approval for second Starship launch

SpaceX received approval for the second launch of its groundbreaking Starship rocket, ending an almost seven-month hiatus and inching Elon Musk closer to his goal of sending humans to the moon and beyond.

The US Federal Aviation Administration reinstated SpaceX’s Starship launch license, the agency said in a statement on Wednesday.

Starship launch delayed by a day

SpaceX is delaying the long-awaited second launch of its massive Starship rocket by one day to Saturday, chief executive officer Elon Musk said.

The company needs to replace a part related to one of the rocket’s grid fins, which are used to steer the vehicle through the atmosphere as it comes back to Earth, Musk said in a social media post.

Starship is set to launch Saturday, November 18. A twenty-minute launch window opens at 7:00 a.m. CT.

A live webcast of the flight test will begin about 35 minutes before liftoff, which you can watch here and on X @SpaceX.

7:00am CT = 3pm SAST. Best to start watching 14h25 on X or the above link.

Not sure what the goals are for this launch, but it would be awesome if it reaches orbit. Even better if it manages to land as well.

Reuters, like all MSM, hate Musk.
I actually think that it was quite good, they have made progress. And it was fun to watch.
