SpaceX has proposed increasing the number of launches of its massive Starship rocket to as many as 25 times a year from its Boca Chica, Texas launch site. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is committed to assessing the environmental impacts of all commercial space operations and will hold public meetings on SpaceX’s proposal. The plan to increase launches and landings of both Starship and Super Heavy aims to demonstrate that the new vehicle can fly as designed, but it is expected to draw scrutiny from residents and environmental groups.
