The FAA told SpaceX last month that it wouldn't be able to fly the Starship until late November, but suddenly a much earlier launch date seems possible.
There’s growing expectation that Space X could launch the mighty Starship rocket as early as Sunday, October 13.
Related “A person familiar with the matter said Tuesday that SpaceX’s seemingly aggressive target is possible because the FAA’s review process has sped up,” CNBC said in its report. It said that the FAA was taking way too long to do the work and that it needed to move ahead with the flights so that it could meet NASA’s timeline for the Artemis program, which would see Starship flying crew and cargo to the moon in the next few years.
