"SpaceX Conducts Starship Rocket Test Ahead of 4th Flight"

SpaceX's Starship rocket underwent a successful static fire test in preparation for its fourth test flight, which could occur in early May. The previous test flight saw the 400-foot-tall megarocket perform well during ascent burns, but encountered issues during landing, ultimately breaking apart. SpaceX aims to conduct six or more test flights this year, but regulatory hurdles, including securing launch licenses from the FAA, may impact the timing of these flights.
