SpaceX has told NASA it plans to launch Starship every eight days from Kennedy.

SpaceX plans Starship every 8 days (120/year), Blue Origin targets 120 New Glenn by 2035, but Kennedy's aging infrastructure lacks capacity. Annual demand reaches 365 days by 2028-2029 while NASA budgets fall 11-47%, threatening US space leadership against China.
