SpaceX has taken a major step toward the first orbital launch of its next-generation Starship rocket from its Starbase site in Boca Chica, Texas.

SpaceX is keen to send its next-generation rocket on its first orbital test flight, but the Federal Aviation Administration has other ideas.

Following months of delays regarding the first orbital launch of its next-generation Starship rocket, SpaceX is hoping for good news from the FAA this week.

SpaceX won’t be able to test its Starship rocket for some time, as the company will have to wait for clearance from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

Elon Musk recently said he hoped to see SpaceX’s Starship rocket take its first orbital flight in May, but that was before the FAA’s latest announcement.

After being grounded by an FAA investigation last month, space tourism company Virgin Galactic has now been cleared to resume its space flights.

The FAA has closed its investigation into SpaceX and found that an explosion during testing of the Starship rocket prototype did not put the public in danger.
