Starship's next milestone just got clearer—and it's ambitious.
The reusable rocket is on track to achieve a launch cadence that would reshape orbital operations. Within roughly three years, the platform could sustain one launch per hour, marking a historic shift in space logistics.
This isn't hype. Full reusability combined with rapid turnaround times unlocks orbital spaceflight at true scale. We're talking about infrastructure that could fundamentally change how data, communications, and computational resources move off-world.
For the space economy to mature, this kind of operational efficiency is the prerequisite. One launch per hour isn't just a number—it's the foundation for what comes next.
