SpaceX, the space exploration firm owned by Elon Musk, is going to conduct the next launch of its Starship today. 

All set to begin, the liftoff of the Starship was awaiting an approval from the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for being a prerequisite for every spacecraft launch in the country. 

Earlier, road closure orders were issued in Cameron County, Texas for early June, which were later corroborated by the Judge Eddie Trevino. He said that these roadblocks are for "flight testing", while specifying June 5,6 and 7 as the expected windows for them.

As per official documents reviewed by Business Today, the launch will be 14-hour long, spanning from midnight to 2pm (local time). Just in case the Starships ascend to the skies get delayed for some technical or any other issues, SpaceX reportedly has plans to consider alternative launch windows of the same duration on June 6 and 7.
