SpaceX Working through Starship Issues before launch

The Federal Aviation Administration's safety review of SpaceX's Starship marked a significant milestone for the aerospace company. After the explosive test flight in April, the FAA grounded Starship to conduct a thorough investigation. This review was not just a procedural step but a deep dive into the technical and operational nuances of SpaceX's ambitious project. The FAA evaluated the Super Heavy booster's performance, specifically focusing on the unexpected "rock tornado" and the subsequent damage to the surrounding environment. SpaceX's commitment to safety was put to the test as the review scrutinized the mishap's causes and examined the company's safety culture, system safety processes, and quantitative risk analysis for launch and reentry operations.
