SpaceX launched its giant Starship rocket on Sunday from Texas in a fifth test flight poised to feature the company's first attempt at bringing the rocket's towering first stage booster back to land using huge robotic arms.

The Federal Aviation Administration issued a new license on Saturday allowing Elon Musk’s SpaceX company to launch its Starship rocket again from South Texas, and it included new requirements to limit the harm to birds’ nests and other wildlife in an adjacent state park and National Wildlife Refuge.
