    It seems that Starship might launch this month.

    The current hinging items seem to be work on the tank farm and the FCC
    getting to review SpaceX's accident report for IFT2.

    This is only a couple of days out of date:

    Interesting. But in my opinion, we are waiting for the FAA, not so much
    on what they do at SpaceX. Of course, longer term, what they do at
    SpaceX is more important than the delays that the FAA cause.

    Discussion of the FAA status is included in that video.

    During Thursday's rollout, and again on Friday's NSF Live stream, the
    hosts indicated that NSF had a response from the FAA saying that they
    were still waiting for SpaceX to provide the final report of the mishap investigation.

    Yes, I saw that. Before that, I thought it was the FAA that was delaying things. But it seems that the FAA is waiting for SpaceX.

    I hope this will be resolved soon.

    No animals were harmed the last time (as far as we know) so I don't see why not.
