SpaceX's gargantuan Starship rocket is due to once again get off the ground from Texas more than two months since its last launch.

SpaceX's Starship was approved to return to flight by the Federal Aviation Administration, a move that tees up the rocket for its ninth test flight. During the upcoming launch out of South Texas, Elon Musk's company will try out a process it has never done before,

The Federal Aviation Administration has given final approval to SpaceX for the next Starship launch, now scheduled for no earlier than next week.
