Starbase, TX is rapidly overtaking Cape Canaveral, FL. This "extended work opportunity" of sorts is being milked for maximum instrumental utility.

- antitoi 2y agowhat do you mean? crew-9 launched from the cape, like all crewed missions. in fact, it was the first crewed mission to launch from SCL-40 instead of the usual 39a.
- panick21_ 2y agoThis is facutally false. Starbase has no license to launch even 1/10 of the flights that are legal from the Cape. SpaceX just majorly invested into a second crew launch facility at the LC40. And SpaceX is building a Starship launch site at 39A. They have publicly stated that Starbase is for production and experimental development mostly. Please actually inform yourself before posting.
- emsign 2y agoI thought Starbase was more for experimental launches. I don't follow every launch of SpaceX but the one's I saw where mostly of test vehicles.
