Regulatory Approval in Time for Friday? | Countdown to Launch LIVE

SpaceX has confirmed this Friday as the potential target for the second flight test of Starship, with Elon Musk also indicating that a license should be granted in time for this target date. We also observed final TPS work on Ship 25, which lost some tiles lately. Watch Alex, Sawyer, and Ryan talk about all the steps Starship needs to clear before the second flight, as early as November 17.

Our new update show, "Countdown to Launch," will update you regularly on all things Starship flight 2. The goal is to answer all your questions about the upcoming launch campaign.
