SpaceX Readies Starship for Second Test Flight Amid FAA Review

SpaceX is in the final stages of preparing for its second test flight of the Starship rocket, currently awaiting FAA license approval. After a previous attempt in April 2023 faced engine problems and led to a 90-second flight termination, SpaceX aims to address regulatory concerns and demonstrate the performance of its innovative technologies, including 33 Raptor rocket engines on the Super Heavy booster and a new "hot staging ring" on the upper stage. Pending approval, the ambitious test flight seeks to complete nearly three-quarters of an orbit around Earth. https://clubelon.supercast.com/
