DeSantis confirmed Florida’s commitment to support future missions for SpaceX’s Starship spacecraft and Super Heavy rocket. “Florida is the present and future of the space industry with leading space companies, like SpaceX, investing in the free state of Florida. We welcome SpaceX’s Starship to our state,” DeSantis said.

BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. – SpaceX announced on Monday that they plan to launch their massive Starship rocket from Florida in 2025. During a pre-launch webcast ahead of Monday’s scrubbed Starship launch, SpaceX officials said they plan to conduct a launch of the megarocket at Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Complex 39A.

It's been known that Starship would eventually launch from Florida, but now SpaceX is saying it may happen as early as the end of this year — as SpaceX ambitiously confirmed they are pushing to launch from Kennedy Space Center's Pad 39A by the end of 2025.
