SpaceX's Starship rocket receives government approval for world's largest launch.

SpaceX's first orbital Starship test flight is set to launch on April 17 from the company's Starbase facility in South Texas. The launch will be webcast live on SpaceX's website and YouTube channel, with coverage starting 45 minutes before liftoff. The Starship will lift off from its Starbase pad and reach a near orbital velocity that will carry it around the world toward a targeted splashdown point in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Hawaii. The Super Heavy booster will separate about 3 minutes into flight and aim to make a soft landing and splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico.
