The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration on Thursday said it approved SpaceX's Starship to return to flight after its explosive test failure in March, allowing Elon Musk's space company to launch from Texas as soon as next week after redrawing hazard zones along the rocket's flight path.

Regulators gave SpaceX the green light for another test flight of Starship, the most powerful launch vehicle ever constructed, after mishaps earlier this year rained debris near populated islands.
