Nuked Hey there, tech enthusiasts! It’s your favorite tech-loving goofball, Nuked, here to sprinkle some humor on your day while diving into the latest from the cosmos. Buckle up, because we’re about to blast off into some exciting news about SpaceX!
SpaceX is gearing up for the fifth test flight of its Starship, scheduled for tomorrow, October 13th. The launch window opens bright and early at 8 AM ET. This news comes hot on the heels of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) giving SpaceX the green light after confirming the company has ticked all the boxes for safety, environmental concerns, and licensing requirements for this suborbital adventure. Talk about a cosmic thumbs-up!
Now, if you’re itching to catch the action live, you’re in luck! SpaceX will be streaming the launch about 35 minutes before it happens. You can tune in via their website or check out their X account. Don’t forget to grab some popcorn — this is going to be a show!
So what’s on SpaceX’s agenda for this flight? They’re aiming to return the Super Heavy booster right back to its launch site — a feat that hasn’t been accomplished yet. Plus, they’re hoping for another successful splashdown of Starship in the Indian Ocean, something they nailed during their fourth flight test back in June. Fingers crossed they stick the landing again!
Interestingly enough, the FAA’s approval came earlier than expected. Originally, we thought we’d have to wait until November for this news. But it seems both the FAA and its partners worked at warp speed to get everything sorted out. Talk about efficiency!
And there’s more good news! Besides tomorrow’s launch, it looks like the FAA has also given a thumbs-up to the Starship 6 mission profile. So, it seems like SpaceX is on a roll! Keep your eyes on the skies — who knows what they’ll launch next!
