• SpaceX is developing a reusable rocket to carry cargo and people
Elon Musk said that SpaceX will have a Starship prototype rocket “ready to fly” by July, with his space venture aiming to reach orbit with the vehicle for the first time.
On Tuesday, Musk tweeted that he spent time at the SpaceX facility in Boca Chica, Texas, on Monday evening “reviewing progress” on the rocket. He added that the company “will have a second Starship stack ready to fly in August” and aims to conduct flights “monthly thereafter.”
SpaceX is developing a 400-foot-tall, reusable Starship rocket to carry cargo and groups of people beyond Earth. The company needs a license from the regulator to conduct further Starship flight tests and begin operational launches from its private facility.
In November 2020, the FAA began reviewing the program after the company started building up its infrastructure and operations at Boca Chica, Texas.
The aviation agency delayed its final assessment five times in the past six months.
