SpaceX has received regulatory approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for its highly anticipated fifth test flight of the Starship rocket, set to take place this Sunday in Texas. With significant preparations underway, the company is eager to demonstrate its capabilities, including a potential catch of the returning booster, which would mark a significant milestone in spaceflight. This launch is generating excitement not only within SpaceX but also among government agencies like NASA, which has expressed high expectations for the event. Road closures in Texas have been announced in anticipation of the launch, while residents nearby are being advised about possible sonic booms. As the weekend approaches, all eyes are on SpaceX as it aims to launch the largest rocket ever and further advance its ambitions for space exploration.
