CatastrophicFailure Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Suddenly that needed “every two weeks” launch cadence seems much more reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So one month between flights at locations, offset so that you get a launch from the Cape followed by Starbase two weeks later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they’ve already demonstrated that with F9 and Starlink launches, so all they really have to do is make Superheavy well, work. Easy-peasy, right?

Easy-peasy, right? They also already have authorization to launch from Cape with starship from the FAA, though I can't find online the number of launches per year from a quick search Edit: found it! 24 launches from the cape per year currently allowed, which can as well be increased Edited December 3, 2021 by Beccab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is also a signal about NASA confidence in when they will have Starliner as an option—not for a couple years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
