Starship could be ready to launch again in 6 to 8 weeks: Elon Musk

SpaceX's Starship, which exploded minutes after its liftoff in a test flight on April 20, could be ready for relaunch in six to eight weeks, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said during a Twitter Spaces chat. "The pad damage is actually quite small," Musk stated, adding, "The [test's] outcome was roughly in [line] with what I expected...maybe slightly exceeded my expectations."
