SpaceX is targeting Thursday, April 21 for a Falcon 9 launch of 53 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The instantaneous launch window is at 1:51 p.m. ET, or 17:51 UTC, and a backup opportunity is available on Friday, April 22.

The first stage booster supporting this mission previously launched GPS III-3, Turksat-5A, Transporter 2, and eight Starlink missions. Following stage separation, Falcon 9’s first stage will return to Earth and land on the Just Read the Instructions droneship stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

I am waiting on 2 things. One is the Tesla split vote in June and second is the announcement someday of the Starlink IPO.

Last time Telsa announced a stock split in August 2020, the stock doubled in 3 weeks then split 5-1 then nearly doubled in price later in 2021. Elon Musk says he has to launch more satellites and make money with Starlink before the IPO happens.

Thanks for that link.

That was after SpaceX refused repeated requests from The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to send updated proposals.
SpaceX has a huge amount of commercial business already. They are not exactly short of business.
And they can launch Starship from 39A in Florida.
