CNN —After months of rebuilding and clearing red tape following the April explosion of the Starship system’s first test flight, SpaceX is set for its next attempt.
The Starship spacecraft stacked atop the Super Heavy booster is intended to play a key role in the NASA Artemis III moon mission, currently slated for 2025.
After its fuel is spent, the Super Heavy will detach from the Starship spacecraft and fall back toward the ocean.
“These delays may seem small in the big scheme of things but … delays in each and every test flight adds up.
One group of activists sued the FAA in May, alleging regulators had failed to comply with federal environmental law when they greenlit Starship’s April test flight.
