SpaceX has officially announced the date for its second attempt to send the Starship spacecraft into orbital flight
It looks like SpaceX has come to an agreement with environmentalists and may already repeat its attempt to launch Starship into space. The company has announced a launch date for the spacecraft.
Here's What We Know
The Starship rocket system consists of a spacecraft of the same name and a Super Heavy first stage. The first orbital flight attempt took place in April 2023 and ended with an explosion at an altitude of about 40 kilometres.

We recently wrote that the US Federal Aviation Administration approved the second launch, but it wasn't enough. SpaceX needed to get permission from environmentalists. It looks like all the problems have been solved.
In social network X, the company announced that the second attempt to launch Starship will take place on 17 November 2023. If successful, SpaceX will test a few more prototypes, and at least two years later Starship will land humans on the moon as part of the Artemis III mission.
