Related Videos SpaceX is making final preparations for the launch of the 394-foot-tall Super Heavy rocket and Starship spacecraft from its Starbase site in Boca Chica, Texas. However, obstacles to the launch still remain. These include the issuance of the all-important launch license, which is in the hands of the FAA. In its planning notice, the FAA pointed out that it has yet to make a decision on the matter, adding that the cited April 10 date “should not be interpreted as an indicator that a determination to issue a license has been made or is forthcoming.”
When it does get underway, both the Super Heavy first stage and Starship second stage will come down in the ocean. but for future missions, SpaceX wants to land both vehicles upright on the ground in the same way that it brings home the first stage of its workhorse Falcon 9 rocket. This will allow the spaceflight company to reuse the Super Heavy and Starship, enabling it to cut costs and increase launch frequency.
