SpaceX is moving forward with plans to undergo the latest test flight of its Starship megarocket that will in the years ahead ferry NASA astronauts to the surface of the moon. The impending launch represents the fifth uncrewed demonstration of the 400-foot behemoth and will follow last-minute approval from the Federal Aviation Administration.

The company achieved a major milestone during the fifth test flight of the vehicle, which could carry people to the moon and Mars, landing the rocket’s booster stage at a Texas launch site.

Starbase-area residents are being warned of sonic booms as mega-rocket's booster stage attempts to land at Boca Chica Beach for first time.
