FAA puts Starship on hold until SpaceX makes 63 fixes

SpaceX’s most recent Starship test launch was its final one for the time being. The FAA has mandated that the company rectify a total of 63 issues before they can proceed with any more test launches. The failed launch left a 385-acre debris field and other complications in its wake.

SpaceX will have to make changes to its hardware, launch pad, and seek approval for modifications to its current license prior to the subsequent Starship launch. The company has admitted to learning from the initial flight test and is in the process of implementing upgrades to its systems for upcoming launches.
