SpaceX has received official approval from the U.S. Air Force to redevelop and operate Starship launches from Space Launch Complex 37 at Cape Canaveral, marking a major expansion beyond its Texas-based Starbase. The company has already begun construction, with projections suggesting the site could eventually support up to 76 Starship launches and 152 landings annually — a step toward SpaceX’s goal of achieving an “airport-like” launch cadence.

Elon Musk celebrated the milestone on X, congratulating the SpaceX team and thanking the U.S. Space Force after reposting the company’s announcement. SpaceX highlighted that the new Florida hub will enhance its ability to support national security missions and the Artemis lunar program, especially with multiple Starship pads operating in the state.

The online response was overwhelmingly positive, with supporters emphasizing how far Starship has come since early prototypes. Overall, the approval solidifies SpaceX’s growing strategic role in U.S. space operations and brings the company closer to making high-frequency heavy-lift launches a regular reality.
