FAA considers dramatically higher Starship launch cadence
The FAA is reviewing a proposal that could expand Starbase operations from 25 to as many as 456 annual Starship launches and 912 landings, alongside up to 76 annual Florida launches. Environmental review, phased implementation, public meetings, infrastructure, safety, debris and airline-risk analysis, rapid reuse, and operational feasibility remain unresolved; the figures are not approvals.
