FAA shoots down launch of SpaceX Starship, IBD reports

Enthusiasm has waned among space flight and Elon Musk fans as the FAA dismissed plans by Musk’s SpaceX for the first flight of its giant two-stage Starship rocket, Investor’s Business Daily’s Brian Deagon reports. Though Musk had previoudly indicated that the launch might occur this week, the FAA’s Office of Commercial Space Transportation shot down the launch plan for the fourth time, the author says, noting the agency still has yet to complete an environmental review. The Fly notes that shares of rival Virgin Galactic (SPCE) are up over 5% in afternoon trading. Reference Link
