SpaceX’s Starship Rocket Undergoes Successful Launch Rehearsal

SpaceX has completed a full launch rehearsal of its Starship rocket, consisting of the Super Heavy booster and upper-stage Starship spacecraft, at its Starbase facility in Boca Chica, Texas. The rehearsal involved fueling the 120-meter-tall rocket and going through all the usual pre-launch procedures, marking the final major test before a spaceflight. SpaceX is awaiting a launch permit from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which is still investigating the third test flight that took place in March. The Starship program aims to build two launch towers at Cape Canaveral in Florida to increase testing capacity, pending permission from the authorities. SpaceX plans to use the Starship for cargo and crew transport to the Moon and Mars.
