The Federal Aviation Administration approved a license on Saturday for the launch of SpaceX's Starship 5 set for as early as Sunday. Reuters first reported earlier this week the faster than expected timetable after the FAA in September had said it did not expect a determination on a license before late November.

The FAA gave Elon Musk’s SpaceX a license to move forward with a test flight that will try to catch a rocket booster between two metal pincers known as “chopsticks.”

Elon Musk stands victorious in his ambitious Starship plans now that SpaceX caught the Super Heavy booster with giant chopsticks as it fell to Earth.
