TL;DR Summary
The U.S. Space Force is initiating environmental studies to potentially enable SpaceX Starship launches from Cape Canaveral's Space Launch Complex 37, currently used by the Delta 4, or a new complex. The study will assess the environmental impacts of converting the existing infrastructure to support Starship-Super Heavy launch and landing operations. The process is expected to take over a year and a half to complete, with public meetings scheduled for March to discuss the scope of the Environmental Impact Statement. SpaceX is also building a Starship launch pad at Kennedy Space Center and its Starbase site in South Texas.
