The fifth test of the largest space rocket in history is constantly postponed due to misunderstandings between the FAA and SpaceX, and then suddenly it will be accelerated?
Conflict between FAA a SpaceX it’s in full swing. Elon Musk’s threats and warnings about the United States of America losing its leading position in the race to conquer space do not help. The administration remains unmoved, SpaceX must meet all safety, environmental regulations and other specified requirements. An unexpected post on X (formerly Twitter) suggests that maybe an agreement has been reached?
They are waiting for permission, but they are already getting ready to start
On the official profile appeared information appears: While waiting for the administration’s approval, the fifth test flight of the Starship rocket is being prepared and ready for launch as early as October 13. The whole thing is decorated with a majestic photo showing the machine in all its glory, calmly waiting on the launch platform in the warm light of the sun. A truly idyllic sight, despite the tense conversations surrounding the central facility.
We know that 30 minutes before starting the test flight, it will start video transmissionlive from the operations center. To see it, you will have to go to official website SpaceX or simply on their profile on the platform with which they share owner Elon Musk. If everything goes according to the company’s wishes, the start will be possible even at 2:00 p.m. Polish time.
The test will be a spectacular event
Event schedule is extremely interesting. Unlike the fourth attempt, this time the entire crew wants to test the target scenario. Both components of the entire rocket, Super Heavy and Starship will showcase the future of spaceflight using fully recoverable modules.
Super Heavy i Starshipthey will naturally start together, it’s hard to do otherwise. After reaching the appropriate height, the machines will separate. Starship it will move on to reach an even higher level, and when it reaches it, it will start the return maneuver to finally start landing and successfully “land” in Indian Ocean. Simultaneously, Super Heavy will make a well-known comeback in style Falcon 9. The difference is that the landing will not take place on an autonomous platform near one of the coasts. This time the starting and ending points will be exactly the same. If this feat is successful, we will witness a truly historic event.
