Elon Musk wants permission to launch more rockets from Cape Canaveral—a lot more.
The FAA is accepting public comments on Musk's plan through May 15.

SpaceX Breaks Record with Two Falcon 9 Launches Separated by 38 Minutes
On August 15, 2026, SpaceX achieved a historic milestone by launching two Falcon 9 rockets just 38 minutes apart, surpassing its previous record of 27 minutes set in 2024. The first launch from Cape Canaveral at 9:12 p.m. EDT carried eight satellites for Globalstar, successfully deploying them into low Earth orbit. The second launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base at 9:50 p.m. EDT supported the U.S. Space Force's USSF-366 mission. Both rockets landed successfully, with the Cape Canaveral booster landing 14th and the Vandenberg booster completing its 18th mission. This doubleheader brought 2026's Falcon 9 launches to 96, with 75% dedicated to Starlink missions. The achievement highlights SpaceX's rapid operational capacity and its role in advancing global satellite internet and defense capabilities. The record-breaking gap underscores advancements in rocket reusability and mission coordination, marking a significant step in space exploration and commercial spaceflight.
