Following a less-than-perfect inaugural launch, the company is gearing up for an imminent second test flight of its megarocket.
SpaceX is preparing to launch its Starship rocket for the second time, aiming for mid-November for another flight test of its launch vehicle after the first one didn’t go so well. It’s been over six months since Starship lifted off for the very first time, a problematic debut that has kept the rocket grounded since then. But now SpaceX claims that the second test flight of its megarocket could launch as early as mid-November, “pending regulatory approval,” the company wrote on X.
The rocket, troublingly, did not respond to the command right away, leading to a dangerous delay over the Gulf of Mexico. At the Boca Chica launch site in south Texas, the big blast off resulted in several serious issues, including major damage to the launch mount, the igniting of several wildfires, disruption to local wildlife, and the widespread scattering of debris across hundreds of acres.
