Joe Hansen(@joehansen):Florida had a record 109 launches in 2025. This September was almost silent. In August SpaceX flew its last planned Falcon 9 Starlink mission from Florida. Starlink had been 33 of the first 54 launches there this year. From now on, Starlink out of Florida waits for Starship. You don't pull your best rocket off your biggest job unless you're sure the next one works.
