The release of the environmental assessment by the FAA paves the way for the company's first test launch.
The company will have to make a lot of changes to its launch site in order to not have a big impact on the environment.
The investigation began in November of 2020 and the final assessment was delayed at least five times over the last six months.
It is one step closer to the first flight test of Starship, according to a statement from the company.
The quality of the human environment will not be affected by the changes.
The company's site called "Starbase" is also home to a protected US National Wildlife refuge.
There are a number of different requested changes to the measures listed in the document.
There is a way to minimize the impact of lighting on sea turtles.
The company will have to make sure the local history is preserved with the creation of a wildlife viewing platform.
The space company is excited. Engineers have been working hard to build a massive launch tower at the site, which will help during the landing of the booster.
We should be hearing from the company soon, even though they haven't set a date for their first launch.
In order to move forward with its program in Texas, the FAA requires the company to make environmental adjustments.
