Only a few days after the second flight of the StarshipStarship, Elon MuskElon Musk has already mentioned the possibility of a third flight by the end of the year. This announcement does not surprise us, because a few weeks ago, SpaceXSpaceX had already mentioned preparing for two Starship flights by the end of the year.
2nd Starship flight: a giant step forward for SpaceX despite the explosions
However, while it is likely that a third Starship will be ready for launch before Christmas, it is unclear whether SpaceX will quickly obtain a flight license from the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration), which has already begun its investigation into the course of the second flight.
Starship’s return to flight depends on the FAA
Certainly, the second flight went much better than the first, despite the destruction in flight of the two giant launchers. However, it should be noted that during the second launch, the launch pad was not damaged as during the first attempt, which caused the formation of a crater approximately seven meters deep caused by the jets of the engines and caused serious damage to the launch table. While we wait to find out when the Starship will be allowed to fly again, SpaceX teams in Boca Chica are, as we speak, preparing to assemble a third Starship, which could be ready within two or three weeks .
