Musk: Possible Starship Launch Next Week

SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk says his company's Starship prototype could be launched from South Texas sometime next week. Musk tweeted that the first orbital launch of the prototype was "trending" toward the third week of April. The FAA has issued a revised notice for a potential launch window beginning April 17th and Cameron County has issued a notice of possible highway and beach closures beginning on that date. Plans for the orbital flight would have the Starship spending about 85 minutes in space before splashing down near Hawaii.
