WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said on Thursday it would extend the public comment period for the draft environmental review of the proposed SpaceX Starship/Super Heavy program in Boca Chica, Texas, to Nov. 1.
The extension comes after federal and state agencies participating in the review made the request to extend the period for public input in the environmental assessment. SpaceX cannot launch the Starship/Super Heavy vehicle until the FAA completes its licensing process, which includes the environmental review.
