SpaceX Starship Victory at Last! Breaking FAA update!

Well, some very exciting and long awaited news over the last day. We have a SpaceX Starship Victory at Last! The Breaking FAA update we've all been waiting for! The Federal Aviation Administration has finally released the 2021 Programmatic Environmental Assessment for Starbase and their findings alongside it. SpaceX has been granted a Mitigated FONSI which stands for Finding of No Significant Impact, with many mitigations already in place. Alongside this, the final PEA document has been published with SpaceX securing the environmental approval from the FAA to conduct orbital Starship launches on the South Texas coast.

By a chance we found your channel and it so awesome dear Marcus! Very informative, detailed and a very understandable presentation! It is so great that the Federal Aviation Administration has finally released the 2021 Programmatic Environmental Assessment for Starbase and their findings alongside it! It is so impressive and inspiring that SpaceX has been granted a Mitigated FONSI which stands for Finding of No Significant Impact, with many mitigations already in place! Thanks for sharing this very positive information with us! Waiting for the orbital launch! It will be spectacular and a monumental sight to see! We joined your inspiring channel! With friendly greetings and kind wishes, Alex and Alexandra

That's generous of the FAA to allow 10 Starship landings, considering only 5 launches are being allowed. Maybe we'll see a Starship that took off from Cape Canaveral land at Starbase, just to ruffle some feathers.

Been waiting for your coverage of this great news, thanks Marcus 🙏 some outlets portraying the mitigations as a setback, but they seem fairly reasonable and nothing SpaceX can’t take in their stride

[IsMaski]

Thanks for the quick update Marcus! It's truly great news that SpaceX has cleared this obstacle. I'm asking for too much but an Orbital Flight in the next month or two would be awesome

[andriinaum]

Another interesting fact is that the FAA document said that Super Heavy is expected to be equipped with up to 37 Raptor engines. I have no clue how SpaceX will fit them into a booster😅

A mitigated FONSI? Ayyy!

Thanks for the update!

Thank you MH + Team for the extra work

[zaguar]

Got the letter yesterday (me, and probably a million other people who'd responded to the FAA's request for public input) - it's definitely a positive step. Always appreciate hearing your take on the latest space news. Cheers!

I admire your dedication in sharing this breaking news with us. I can't wait for the real test.

Had to pinch myself when saw the headlines, after months of procrastination from the FAA things are finally moving forward, obviously a little more red tape stuff to get the launch finalized but this is fantastic news.
Thanks so much for the update Marcus, you do a great service to the community.
Cheers mate from Queensland Australia.
