(Adrian Bell of NSF posted this at the same time.)

Why, in fact…. it is a license modification authorizing SpaceX to launch *multiple* missions of Starship on the Flight 7 profile.

Amazing how much things seem to be loosening up as the clock ticks down to the new administration.

Anyhow, I suppose this means that SpaceX can launch Flight 7 whenever they’re ready in terms of launch preparations.
