November 22, Fineko/abc.az. The election of Donald Trump as president of the U.S. has made the Federal Aviation Administration much more accommodating: the agency issues permits for new space rocket launches faster at the request of Elon Musk.

ABC.AZ reports that on November 20, the Federal Aviation Administration approved SpaceX's request to increase the number of Starship launches from 5 to 25 times a year. The agency also approved SpaceX's plan to increase the power and size of Starship for future missions.

The 7th launch of Starship rocket will be a significant moment in the program, since we are talking about the updated Starship Block 2 ship, which received increased fuel tanks and many other improvements.
