The FAA has approved SpaceX's proposal for up to 44 annual Starship launches from Kennedy Space Center, which includes 88 landings, despite concerns about beach access, noise, and economic impacts on nearby National Parks. The decision follows a previous allowance for 76 launches from Cape Canaveral and requires SpaceX to obtain a launch license and implement mitigation efforts. The plan could disrupt airspace significantly, potentially delaying thousands of commercial flights each year.
