SpaceX says it could be ready to launch its next Starship mission in early May. Speaking at the Satellite 2024 conference Tuesday, SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell said the company was still analyzing data from last week's launch but that the company expected to "get back to flight hopefully in about six weeks." She added it was unlikely, as some had speculated, that the next Starship launch would carry Starlink satellites as the company focuses on trying to successfully bring back both the Starship vehicle and Super Heavy booster. That schedule will depend on the FAA approving a mishap report about last week's launch, but at a separate event Monday the head of the FAA's commercial space transportation office said he did not see "anything major" from a safety perspective that would slow that down.
