In what may be a breakthrough for SpaceX, the FAA has granted a license modification for Flight 7, allowing operations to ramp up at a quicker pace. This development illustrates a shift in regulatory dynamics, as SpaceX is now permitted to execute launches along a similar flight profile to previous missions without extensive delays.
Excitingly, Elon Musk has announced plans for Starbase to formally become a municipality. This progression could facilitate streamlined infrastructure development as SpaceX grows, allowing for a more effective setup of amenities for employees. The recognition of Starbase as a city underscores the transformation of the area into a hub of aerospace innovation.
