SpaceX flies its last Florida Falcon 9 Starlink mission
SpaceX flew its final planned Falcon 9 Starlink mission from Florida on August 25, closing out roughly seven years and about 260 Starlink launches from Cape Canaveral's Pad 40 on that rocket. Future Starlink launches from Florida will fly on Starship instead, with Falcon 9 Starlink missions continuing only from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.
