The Federal Aviation Administration’s environmental review of SpaceX’s plan to launch its Starship rocket from South Texas is expected to finish April 29, a month later than had been expected.
It was the third delay for the review, which will assess the impact of launch operations on the area around Boca Chica, Texas. The agency is also considering the potential effects on a wildlife refuge for migratory birds and other species, some of them endangered.
