🎉 The FAA has issued a mitigated Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for orbital Starship launches from Boca Chica, Texas – effectively giving an environmental green light to the SpaceX project.
The decision could still face legal disputes from environmental groups but the planned flights are allowed to move forward.

‍The FAA issues long-awaited environmental decision on SpaceX's Starship program in Boca Chica:

Mitigated FONSI (Finding Of No Significant Impact), requiring over 75 additional protective measures but effectively clearing a major hurdle for Texas launches.
