FAA closes latest SpaceX investigations,
opens door for next Starship launch
OrlaMOSmh'nel
RLANDO
o SpaceX has had a tough
year with its Starship
program, but the Federal
Aviation Administration
has cleared the path for
the next -generation rock-
et's 10th suborbital
launch attempt as early as
ne
xt weekend.
The FAA on Friday
closed investigations into
mishaps suffered on the
ninth launch in May in
which the Super Heavy
booster, the first ever
flown for a second time,
was destroyed on its reen-
try attempt while the
upper stage was lost over
the Indian Ocean.
"There are no reports of
public injury or damage to
public property. The FAA
oversaw and accepted the
findings of the SpaceX-led
investigation," reads a
statement from the FAA.
"The final mishap report
cites the probable root
cause for the loss of the
Starship vehicle as a fail-
ure of a fuel component.
SpaceX identified correc-
tive actions to prevent a
reoccurrence of the
event"
The loss of the upper
stage before its planned
landing attempt marked
the thirdflight-related
mission failure for Star -
ship in 2025 after launch-
es in Januaryand Mar-
chended with the upper
stage exploding and light-
ing up the skies across
South Florida, the Baha-
mas and Caribbean. The
company also lost a Star -
ship upper stage during a
static fue test that de-
stroyed one of its test
stands.
Despite the setbacks,
and with the FAA's clear-
ance, SpaceX has slated
Starship Flight 10 for as
early as Aug. 24 launching
from its test site Starbase
in Texas during a window
that runs from 7:30-8:30
P.m.
The company on Friday
detailed its f dings for
the Flight 9 issues as well
as the test pad explosion
on its website.
The angle with which
the Super Heavy booster
came back in for a landing
was more severe than
previous landing at-
tempts. Because it was the
first reuse of the booster,
SpaceX opted to not try
d recapture it like it had
on two previous Starship
flights using its "chop-
sticks" feature on the
launch tower. Instead, it
broke up during an "ener-
getic event" at an altitude
of about 3,200 feet.
SpaceX put said the
debris had no obvious
detrimental effect on
mar
ine life.
"SpaceX works with an
experienced global re-
sponse provider to re-
trieve any debris that may
wash up in South Texas
and/or Mexico as a result
of Starship flight test
operations," the company
stated. "During the survey
of the expected debris

That approach could prove
prohibitively expensive.
"There's a benefit to
thinking about these elevat-
ed larger roadways that
avoid the impacts and keep
traffic off those more vul-
nerable local and rural
roads," Lauritsen said. "But
it's costly to do it right."
Managing the habitat

are critical for reducing
wildfire risk and promoting
healthy plant and animal
life, said Janet Bowman,
senior policy analyst with
The Nature Conservancy in
Florida, which manages the
Disney Wilderness Pre-
serve.
For instance, the wood-
peckers that call the pre-
serve home require a specif-
ic type of longleaf pine
forest, Bowman said. "Ilfit]

scribed fire, it changes the
species distribution and it
affects wildlife that depend
on that particular habitat"
But the presence of a

cess. "Smoke and highways
don't always mix," Bowman
said. "It would change the
way and when we conduct
prescribed fire."
The Disney Wilderness
Preserve was created when
the Walt Disney Company
purchasedres
eands from 8,000cattle
rancher in the 1990s to
offset environmental im-
pacts from its theme parks
and hotels.
The land, which sits at
the head of the greater
Everglades watershed and
borders Lake Russell, had
previously been eyed for
growth. It was slated to
become a massive resi-
dential and commercial
project before Disney's
purchase and subsequent
transfer to The Nature
Conservancy.
Now, conservation ex-
perts worry the road will
propel more urbanization.
Charles Lee, the director of
advocacy at Audubon of
Florida, said he doesn't
believe the f al portion of
the project connecting to
the Tumpike is necessary,
arguing it would increase
traffic, not reduce it.
"There really is no happy
ending," Lee said.
"There's only what I would
describe as a modest less-
ening of impacts."
Lee said he hopes the
connector can still be de-
layed. Cost and public
blowback have already
held back the road before.
In 2018, the CFX gov-
erning board voted not to
move forward with the
project due to low toll
revenue projections that
would not be able to cover
the road's cost.
The project also faced
years of delay brought by
pushback from Poinciana
residents, who argued the
elevated section above
Cypress Parkway would
create a "Great Wall of
Poinciana" and divide the
largely minority communi-
ty.

educate residents on up-
coming road projects was

205 miles.
The storm was skirting
Puerto Rico rather than
hitting it directly.
Erin was expected to lose
forward speed on Sunday
and then gradually turn to
the north on Monday and
Tuesday, the NHC said.
Erin's core was projected
to pass to the east of the
Turks and Caicos Islands
and southeastern Bahamas
on Sunday and Monday.
By Thursday, the storm
is forecast to be a few
hundred miles west of
Bermuda and just outside
the big tracking cone. Erin
is then forecast to travel
north hundreds of miles
from the U.S. East Coast
Erin's outer bands will
roduce rainfall of 3 to 6
inches across the Virgin
Islands and Puerto Rico,
with isolated totals of up to
8 inches. "Locally consid-
erable flash and urban
flooding, along with land-
slides or mudslides, are
possible," the NHC said.
Also, swells will affect
those places, as well as
Hispaniola and the Turks
and Caicos Islands, during
the next couple of days, the
agency said.
"Erin is expected to
produce life -threatening
surf and rip currents along
the beaches of the Baha-
mas, much of the East
Coast of the U.S., Bermu-
da, and Atlantic Canada
during the next several
days," Cangialsi wrote.
He wrote that interests
along the North Carolina
and mid -Atlantic coasts as
well in Bermuda "should
monitor the progress of
Erin as there is a risk of
strong winds associated
with the outer rainbands
during the middle of next
week."
Alex Sosnowski, Accm-
Weather senior meteorol-
ogist, said portions of the
North Carolina's Outer
Banks and coastal Virginia
would experience several
feet of storm surge, leading
to significant coastal flood-
ing and beach erosion.
