Elon Musk’s SpaceX has successfully completed a world first test, landing part of their Starship back onto its launch pad. This means the company’s plan to develop a fully reusable and quickly deployable rocket is a lot closer. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the US government body that approves all flights, had previously said there would be no launch before November as it reviewed the company’s permits. Since last month the agency and Elon Musk have been in a public spat after the FAA said it was seeking to fine his company, SpaceX, $633,000 for allegedly failing to follow its license conditions and not getting permits for previous flights.
