The FAA said all five public scoping meetings on SpaceX’s proposed Starbase expansion will now be held virtually and that the public comment period will close on Dec. 7, 2026, the agency wrote in an update dated Nov. 10. The meetings are scheduled for Nov. 17–19, all times Central, and registration is required; each session starts with a 30-minute FAA presentation, then oral comments of up to three minutes. The review covers a two-phase proposal that would allow up to 100 launches and 200 landings a year, then up to 456 launches and 912 landings, Tesla North and the FAA said. Written comments can be filed at regulations.gov under docket FAA-2026-12808. The change does not approve the higher launch cadence.
