WASHINGTON (Reuters) -A key SpaceX Starship Super Heavy rocket launch test could happen next week, according to a planning notice posted Tuesday by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

The FAA notice said the launch's primary expected date is April 10, but listed backup dates as April 11 and 12. Billionaire Elon Musk's SpaceX rocket and satellite company must still get a launch license for what is expected to be its first orbital flight test from Boca Chica, Texas.

I said, "I got this when my plane went down off of Florida." - Dennis Regan

"00:00:00 Excitement Guaranteed" As exciting as the first Saturn V launches, but maybe not as exciting as the first flight of the innumerable accidents just waiting to happen Shuttle which, unfortunately, was required to be manned.
