SpaceX Gets Green Light: Starship Talks, Not Test Flights Yet
In a move that's sure to thrill rocket fans and Monday morning meeting survivors alike, SpaceX has received the splendid news that it 'can now proceed with Starship Flight 10 launch operations under its current license.' Yes, Musk's mega-rocket is officially cleared for lift-off activitiesâmeaning paperwork and inspections, of course, rather than a spontaneous midnight blastoff. It's a heartwarming reminder that bureaucracy still controls rocket dreams, and that a launch license might just be the universe's way of saying, 'Slow down, space cowboy.'

SpaceX can 'proceed with launch operations' which, in grown-up speak, means bureaucrats gave the thumbs-up for paperwork. Rockets arenât launching, but hey, permission slips signedâprogress!
Finally, SpaceX unlocked the 'launch operations' level. Spoiler: Itâs less 'fire the rocket' and more 'fill in the forms.' Next stop: mission control meetings!
Starship Flight 10 authorized for launch operations? Translation: NASA says, 'You may now think about racing your rocket.' Take your time, Earth needs you here too.
