	Description:		SpaceX is in the final stages of preparing for its second test flight of the Starship rocket, currently awaiting FAA license approval. After a previous attempt in April 2023 faced engine problems and led to a 90-second flight termination, SpaceX aims to address regulatory concerns and demonstrate the performance of its innovative technologies, including 33 Raptor rocket engines on the Super Heavy booster and a new "hot staging ring" on the upper stage. Pending approval, the ambitious test flight seeks to complete nearly three-quarters of an orbit around Earth.
