> Given the apparent success of the test, the final significant hurdle standing between SpaceX and the second test flight of the Starship rocket is regulatory. The company must receive a launch license from the Federal Aviation Administration, which has been reviewing a "mishap investigation report" submitted by SpaceX following the April test flight.

> After accepting or modifying this report, the Federal Aviation Administration and SpaceX will identify corrective actions that the company must make ahead of its second test flight to ensure the safety of people, property, and wildlife near the South Texas launch site, which is surrounded by wetlands and the Gulf of Mexico.

> SpaceX has not set a public launch target yet for Starship, and sources indicated it has not yet received any clear indications from the Federal Aviation Administration about when a launch license might be forthcoming. However, it seems reasonable to conclude that the second Starship launch could take place as soon as two or three weeks from now. Further delays are always possible and, indeed, probable.
