“We just passed 400 launches on #Falcon, and I would not be surprised if we fly 400 #Starship launches in the next four years.” #NASA is expecting at least bi-weekly launches to begin sometime in 📆 2025. “Now, we are not shutting down #Dragon, and we are not shutting down Falcon. We’ll be flying that for six to eight more years" spaceexplored.com/2024/11/27/s
