The closure of the mishap investigation does not signal an immediate resumption of Starship launches at Boca Chica. SpaceX must implement all corrective actions that impact public safety and apply for and receive a license modification from the FAA that addresses all safety, environmental and other applicable regulatory requirements prior to the next Starship launch.
SpaceX’s IFT launches getting FAA approval has been a major thorn in Elon’s side, for years now, and Elon has more than once just lied about things and launched beyond his actual legal ability to do so.
Musk has been flagrantly violating the law in numerous different ways relating to the Boca Chica facility, and Starship/IFT launches… pretty much for every IFT launch.
He also got the head of the FAA to quit because they were investigating IFT 7 showering debris all over the Caribbean.
