Starship flies at least once a day within a year

On SpaceX's inaugural earnings call on August 4, 2026, Elon Musk said the cadence of Starship flights would increase rapidly and that roughly a year later the company would be doing at least one flight a day, possibly more. At the time of the statement Starship had flown 13 test flights total, none from more than one pad, making a daily flight rate a steep ramp. The claim implies routine, rapid-reuse Starship operations by around August 2027.
