Elon Musk’s SpaceX has submitted its final mishap report to US air-safety regulators detailing the company’s explosive debut test launch of its Starship rocket in April.
The Federal Aviation Administration will review the application, but did not provide a timeline of how long that process might take. The FAA must clear SpaceX before the company can launch Starship again.
