SpaceX clears Starship mishap probe before next test flight this week

The FAA has cleared SpaceX to proceed with its 13th Starship test flight scheduled for 16 July after closing its review of the May booster mishap; the flight will deploy actual Starlink V3 satellites for the first time and test full reusability of the rocket. SpaceX has solved the booster failure and is now flying payloads—this is no longer a test platform, it's a launch service moving into production. Every satellite and sensor company competing for launch capacity on traditional rockets now faces a competitor that gets cheaper with every flight.
