Soaring nearly 400 feet (121 meters), the empty Starship launched at sunrise from the southern tip of Texas, near the Mexican border. It arced over the Gulf of Mexico, similar to the four previous Starships that were destroyed shortly after liftoff or while landing in the sea. The last launch in June was the most successful to date, completing its flight without exploding.
"The FAA will continue to work with SpaceX to evaluate additional information provided by the company as part of its application to modify its launch license," FAA spokesperson Steve Kulm said
