BOCA CHICA, Texas (KTRK) -- SpaceX's SN9 is scheduled to launch from a remote corner of Texas in a high-altitude test run, the first since SN8's explosive landing last month.
It's not yet clear exactly when the craft will depart the ground as Elon Musk's company is waiting on approval from the Federal Aviation Administration. The launch could happen as early as Monday, SpaceX announced.
Musk tweeted his frustration about the government agency Thursday.
"Unlike its aircraft division, which is fine, the FAA space division has a fundamentally broken regulatory structure," he wrote. "Their rules are meant for a handful of expendable launches per year from a few government facilities. Under those rules, humanity will never get to Mars."
