What was that light in the sky? Monday evening, SpaceX's Starship was seen in the sky over Cape Canaveral shortly after launch.

Before Starship can arrive in Florida, SpaceX has already begun mass production of its hexagonal heatshield tiles at Cape Canaveral.

With restrictions on supersonic travel finally lifted, aerospace giants and private innovators are racing to redefine speed—just as SpaceX unveils its most ambitious Starship expansion in Florida.

That's one of the next major milestones in Starship's development after achieving orbital flight. SpaceX will attempt to bring the ship home to be caught back at the launch site by the launch tower at Starbase, Texas, located on the southernmost section of the Texas Gulf Coast near the US-Mexico border.

The most dire predictions in two federal reports on the proposal could mean nearly 12,000 delayed commercial flights each year and loud booms while residents are asleep.

Space Coast Office of Tourism data shows overnight visitors who primarily travel to Brevard County to see a launch spend an average of $231 per day.
