The world’s largest rocket may soon begin flying from Central Florida as SpaceX’s Starship is looking to make Cape Canaveral its operational home. Starship will first need to obtain a license from the Federal Aviation Administration. SpaceX’s Starship is so massive that its launch vehicle is expected to stand more than 400 feet tall. This is with heavy booster and Starship on top. At an open house Wednesday, the FAA invited residents to learn about the world’s most powerful missile. Two launch sites will be built or upgraded: one at Kennedy Space Center and the other at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.”I’m so excited. It gives me hope. It gives me something fun to think about,” resident Debby Hancock said. “We’re also environmentalists. So we want to make sure we’re thinking about animals and things like that. So I think it’s all a good thing. I just want to see how it’s done.” Several boards shared information about the next steps Starship will have to go through to get a license. The FAA is currently reviewing the environmental impacts of launch sites. She will study air quality and biological and coastal resources, including their effects on animals and water. Climate, solid waste and pollution prevention will also be assessed. The study will also focus on noise, including its duration, magnitude, frequency and impact analysis, which will include its effects on people and structural damage. .” To understand what the project is, we see rockets launched all the time, I know this is going to be just one rocket,” residents Joan and Bob Montalvo said. , but once his mission is complete, he will move to the Space Coast.

“I just want to understand what the project is. I mean, we see rockets go off all the time. I know this is going to be bigger, but it’s still just a rocket,” said residents Joan and Bob Montalvo.
The Starship is still in the testing phase in Texas, but once its mission is ready, it will be moved to the Space Coast.
