  • The FAA concluded its investigation into the failed April 20 test flight of SpaceX's Starship rocket.
  • The FAA report identified multiple root causes for the explosion and mandated 63 corrective actions.
  • Required actions include hardware redesigns, launch pad modifications, additional testing, and reviews to prevent similar failures.
  • SpaceX must satisfy all safety requirements, get an updated launch license, and implement corrective actions before attempting another test flight.
  • The timing of the next launch is uncertain until SpaceX makes the necessary changes and secures FAA approval.
