TL;DR Summary

SpaceX has moved its most flight-ready Starship rocket to a launch site in South Texas, and a launch could take place as early as April 10. The company has completed work on the launch mount and tower, and is awaiting a license from the Federal Aviation Administration. NASA is tentatively reserving the use of its high-altitude WB-57 aircraft for observations of the Starship test flight. After launch, the Super Heavy rocket will fly eastward over the Gulf of Mexico, and the Starship upper vehicle will attempt a reentry into Earth's atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean.
