The Federal Aviation Administration has approved 25 Starbase launches for SpaceX in 2025, clearing the way for the world’s largest rocket to enter hyperdrive development. Previously capped at just five launches per year under the Biden administration, Starship could now lift off as frequently as every few weeks.
The FAA stated that the change in SpaceX’s Starship license—expanding annual launches from 5 to 25—”would not significantly impact the quality of the human environment.”
