Jack Kuhr(@JackKuhr):By 2029, Falcon 9 will be approaching its 20th year flying. By 2029, Starship will be in its 10th year of development/ops. It will be a difficult transition, leaving a launch gap and program delays until 1) Starship clamshell fairing or 2) other rockets ramp. But it is time

I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about, and talking to people about a post-Falcon world. Why sunset the world’s best rocket? Can Starship replace it? What about Artemis? Why are SpaceXers flocking to Memphis? Grab a coffee, this is a long one.
