Goodbye, Falcon 9: SpaceX plans to retire its workhorse rocket for Starship
SMRTR summary
SpaceX plans to retire its Falcon 9 rocket once Starship becomes reliable enough for regular flights. Elon Musk said the company will shift engineering and production resources to Starship when it can fly several times per week. Starship is much larger, carrying over 100 tons to orbit versus Falcon 9's 25 tons, and will eventually launch next-generation Starlink satellites that are too big for Falcon 9.
