[cron:2b05c350-dbfd-4f34-af01-133b602ee818 Magoo News Pulse] **Magoo News Pulse — CRITICAL: WRITE URLs TO MEMORY**

## STEP 1: READ MEMORY
Read `memory/2026-02-13.md` and extract ALL source URLs already reported today.

## STEP 2: SEARCH (find 15+ candidates)
Search across categories:
- GitHub/Tech (SearXNG + `day`)
- AI Industry (web_search freshness="pd")
- Global Politics (SearXNG + `day`)
- Markets (SearXNG + `day`)
- Science (SearXNG + `day`)

## STEP 3: FILTER STRICTLY
- Remove ANY URL already in memory from today
- Remove ANY story about: Anthropic $30B funding, GitHub Agentic Workflows, Anthropic researcher quitting, DeepCode, DHS shutdown, NASA Crew-12 — these have been reported multiple times already
- Keep only genuinely new stories from last 20 min

## STEP 4: COMPILE BRIEFING
📰 **Magoo Briefing** — [Time EST], Friday Feb 13, 2026

🛠 **TECH/GITHUB:** (2-3 NEW items)
🤖 **AI:** (3-4 NEW items)
🌍 **GLOBAL:** (2-3 NEW items)
💰 **MARKETS:** (1-2 NEW items)
🔬 **SCIENCE:** (1-2 NEW items)

**Requirement: 10-12 items, ALL must be new (not in memory).**

## STEP 5: WRITE TO MEMORY (CRITICAL)
After delivering briefing, APPEND to `memory/2026-02-13.md`:

```
## News Pulse URLs — [timestamp]
- [URL 1]
- [URL 2]
- [URL 3]
... (all URLs from this briefing)
```

This prevents duplicates in future pulses.

If <5 new items found, report "Only [X] new items today" and STOP.
Current time: Saturday, February 14th, 2026 — 12:20 AM (UTC)

Return your summary as plain text; it will be delivered automatically. If the task explicitly calls for messaging a specific external recipient, note who/where it should go instead of sending it yourself.


The user wants me to run a news pulse task. Let me break this down:

1. First, read memory/2026-02-13.md to get existing URLs
2. Search for new news across multiple categories
3. Filter out already-reported URLs and specific banned topics
4. Compile a briefing with 10-12 new items
5. Append the new URLs to memory

Let me start by reading the memory file.


# 2026-02-13 Memory Log

## Session Summary (03:20-04:05 UTC)

### User
- **Skinny** (@skinnyc813, 6558388607) - runs multiple OpenClaw agents

### Major Task: Autonomous Overnight Workflow Setup

Set up all 7 OpenClaw agents to follow an autonomous work procedure:

**The Pattern:**
1. **SOUL.md** - Contains Build → Test → Log → Decide loop
2. **TODO.md** - Task list (drop tasks here before bed)
3. **PROGRESS-LOG.md** - Work journal (read in morning)
4. **Cron jobs** - Safety net at 2am, 4am, 6am UTC

**Agents Configured:**
| Agent | Workspace | Telegram Account |
|-------|-----------|------------------|
| main | workspace | fred |
| magoo | workspace-magoo | magoo |
| mark-twain | workspace-mark-twain | twain |
| clinker | workspace-clinker | clinker |
| ash-permits | workspace-ash-permits | carl |
| cannadeals-marketing | workspace-cannadeals-marketing | canna |
| ghc-marketing | workspace-ghc-marketing | maya |

**What I Did:**
- ✅ Updated SOUL.md on all 7 workspaces with autonomous work loop
- ✅ Created TODO.md and PROGRESS-LOG.md for all 7 workspaces
- ✅ Created 21 cron jobs (3 per agent at 2/4/6am UTC)
- ✅ Preserved all existing cron jobs (ghc deal posting, canna engagement, etc.)
- ✅ Updated USER.md with Skinny's info
- ✅ Deleted BOOTSTRAP.md

**Existing Cron Jobs (preserved):**
- ghc-marketing: Deal Post every 30min, 3 blog posts daily, X engagement
- cannadeals-marketing: ~20 jobs (morning posts, engagement rounds, random checks)

### Verification
- 4am cron jobs ran successfully on all agents
- All found no pending tasks (TODO.md empty) - expected for fresh setup

### Notes
- User asked about Clinker not responding - cron worked fine, suggested checking correct Telegram bot account
- cannadeals-marketing has custom SOUL.md sections preserved (server info, social media rules)

## How to Use the System

1. Before bed: Drop a task in any agent's `TODO.md`
2. Agent breaks it down, works through night
3. Gets nudged every 2 hours if stalled (cron safety net)
4. Morning: Check `PROGRESS-LOG.md` to see what happened

Good, I have the memory file from 2026-02-13 with all the URLs already reported. Now I need to search for new news across multiple categories. Let me use SearXNG for GitHub/Tech, Politics, Markets, Science and web_search for AI Industry.

I need to search for fresh news and then filter out:
1. Any URL already in the memory file
2. Specific banned topics: Anthropic $30B funding, GitHub Agentic Workflows, Anthropic researcher quitting, DeepCode, DHS shutdown, NASA Crew-12

Let me run multiple searches in parallel.

Anthropic is gearing up to invest heavily in its own data center capacity, bringing on seasoned ex-Google managers to lead the effort.

The AI company is internally discussing "securing at least 10 gigawatts of capacity over the next several years," at a potential cost of hundreds of billions of dollars, [The Information](https://www.theinformation.com/?rc=o1kubl) reports. As a startup without a strong credit rating, Anthropic needs powerful partners to back the project. Google has already stepped in as a guarantor for a data center in Louisiana, and Anthropic also plans to [access up to one million TPUs in 2026](https://the-decoder.com/anthropic-plans-to-secure-up-to-one-million-google-tpus-by-2026-to-expand-its-ai-infrastructure/).

Until now, Anthropic has rented compute from cloud providers, but it plans to start leasing its own data centers. To pull this off, it hired Tim Hughes from Stack Infrastructure and Brett Rogers, who spent six years building data centers at Google. Winnie Leung, with over 20 years of Google experience, is already on the team.

## The new moat is compute

For context: OpenAI last year announced alliances with [Nvidia for at least 10 gigawatts](https://the-decoder.com/openai-and-nvidia-announce-10-gigawatt-partnership-for-ai-infrastructure/), [Broadcom for 10 gigawatts of custom AI accelerators](https://the-decoder.com/openai-grabs-ten-gigawatts-from-broadcom-as-it-races-to-out-compute-everyone/), [Oracle for 4.5 gigawatts](https://the-decoder.com/openai-to-tap-4-5-gw-of-oracle-data-center-power-for-stargate-ai-project/), and [AMD for up to 6 gigawatts](https://the-decoder.com/amd-signs-a-long-term-deal-to-supply-openai-with-multiple-generations-of-instinct-gpus/). Whether these plans materialize—and whether both companies can grow revenue fast enough to foot the bill—remains open. [Anthropic has at least shown strong revenue growth lately](https://the-decoder.com/anthropic-raises-30-billion-pushing-valuation-to-380-billion/).

OpenAI has framed infrastructure [as its main competitive edge](https://the-decoder.com/sam-altman-says-scaling-up-compute-is-the-literal-key-to-openais-revenue-growth/), arguing the next AI leap will come from letting models think [for much longer periods](https://the-decoder.com/openai-aims-to-build-ai-systems-that-can-work-on-problems-for-hours-or-even-days/). CFO Sarah Friar said the company could have [grown even faster with more compute,](https://the-decoder.com/openai-says-it-could-have-grown-even-faster-if-only-it-had-more-compute/) suggesting a direct link between capacity and revenue.

## AI data centers face growing community pushback

The rapid expansion is creating friction with local communities. Microsoft, Anthropic, and OpenAI have all pledged to cover their data centers' electricity costs to shield residents from rising bills. [Microsoft went first in January 2026](https://the-decoder.com/microsoft-pledges-to-cover-data-center-power-costs-as-community-pushback-grows/), followed by [OpenAI](https://openai.com/index/stargate-community/) and [Anthropic in February 2026](https://the-decoder.com/anthropic-promises-to-cover-consumer-electricity-costs-from-new-data-center-construction/).

The commitments came under mounting political pressure, since data center regions had seen electricity prices rise 12-16 percent faster than the national average, and lawmakers in New York and Washington were drafting bills to hold AI companies financially responsible. The stakes are high: [data centers could consume 12 percent of all US electricity by 2028](https://the-decoder.com/ai-data-centers-could-soon-consume-as-much-electricity-as-one-third-of-all-u-s-households/), up from 4.4 percent in 2024.

[Elon Musk's](https://www.cnbc.com/elon-musk/) xAI, which [merged](https://www.cnbc.com/2026/02/02/elon-musk-spacex-xai-ipo.html) with SpaceX last week, is facing increased pressure from environmental and civil rights groups over pollution concerns, this time at the company's facility in Southaven, Mississippi.
On Friday, the Southern Environmental Law Center and Earthjustice, on behalf of the NAACP, sent a notice of intent to sue xAI and subsidiary MZ Tech LLC, saying the company's use of dozens of natural gas-burning turbines requires a federal permit, violates the Clean Air Act and harms nearby communities.
Pollution from the turbines, which xAI has also used in Memphis, Tennessee, for its [Colossus 1](https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/03/musks-xai-gets-permit-for-turbines-to-power-supercomputer-in-memphis.html) and Colossus 2 data centers, has been a major source of local contention for more than a year.
Plans for a third data center in Southaven, located about 20 miles from Memphis, were [announced](https://governorreeves.ms.gov/tech-leader-xai-investing-more-than-20-billion-in-southaven/) early this year, when Mississippi Republican Governor Tate Reeves said he expected the project to create "hundreds of permanent jobs throughout DeSoto County."
Launched by Musk in 2023, xAI is trying to compete with OpenAI, Anthropic and [Google](/quotes/GOOGL/) in the booming generative AI market. On Feb. 2, Musk said SpaceX, his rocket maker and defense contractor, acquired xAI in a deal that valued the combined entity at $1.25 trillion.
Musk is banking on the area in and around Memphis as the foundation of his AI ambitions, and he's been flouting environmental rules in order to develop as quickly as possible. Musk's social network X, formerly Twitter, is also owned by xAI, which created the Grok AI chatbot and image generator.
XAI is currently under a myriad of government investigations in Europe, Asia and the U.S. after Grok enabled users to easily create and share deepfake porn, including explicit imagery depicting child sexual abuse.
Last year, residents in the majority-Black community of Boxtown in South Memphis testified at public hearings about a stench in the air, and the impact of worsening smog on their health caused by xAI's use of natural gas turbines. Research by scientists at the University of Tennessee [also found](https://time.com/7308925/elon-musk-memphis-ai-data-center/) that xAI's turbine use added to air pollution woes in the area.

Environmental advocates, including the NAACP, had previously said they would sue to stop xAI's un-permitted use of the turbines in Memphis. But they stopped short of filing a legal complaint after Shelby County's health department allowed xAI to treat the turbines as temporary, non-road engines, and issued permits for their use.
At the federal level, the EPA recently clarified gray areas of the law and said these turbines can't be categorized as temporary non-road engines. Nonetheless, xAI has been using the turbines across state lines without obtaining federal permits.
XAI didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
Noise pollution from the turbines has also been a source of [local](https://safeandsoundms.carrd.co/) consternation. Jason Haley, a Southaven resident, told CNBC the turbines make headache-inducing noises around the clock that he can hear inside his home.
Haley is part of a group called [Safe and Sound](https://safeandsoundms.carrd.co/https://safeandsoundms.carrd.co/) which documents the decibel levels, and is pressing local officials to stop xAI from making so much noise, especially overnight, with its turbines.
Mississippi officials will hold a public hearing, [scheduled](https://opcgis.deq.state.ms.us/ensearchonline/public-hearings.aspx) for Tuesday, for community members who wish to express their concerns about xAI's expansion plans in the area. The hearing will focus on whether the state should give xAI permission to install and run 41 permanent turbines at its Southaven facility, Mississippi Today [previously reported](https://mississippitoday.org/2026/02/09/permit-hearing-set-for-xai-turbines-in-southaven/).
Similar community dynamics are playing out across the U.S. as tech giants rush to construct massive data centers, which can strain local energy and water supply and cause prices to increase.
In November, [Microsoft](/quotes/MSFT/) ended efforts to build a data center in [Wisconsin](https://www.cnbc.com/2025/11/25/microsoft-ai-data-center-rejection-vs-support.html) due to the community's vocal opposition. [Amazon](/quotes/AMZN/) also pulled out of plans for a data center in Arizona after community protests.
In terms of Musk's Southaven project, Patrick Anderson, a senior attorney with SELC, said xAI "has to follow the law, just like any other company."
"And when it flouts the Clean Air Act's bedrock protections against unpermitted emissions, it puts the health and welfare of ordinary citizens at risk," Anderson said in an email. "That's why we intend to hold xAI accountable here."
The Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

[Elon Musk](https://www.theguardian.com/technology/elon-musk)’s artificial intelligence company is continuing to fuel its datacenters with unpermitted gas turbines, an investigation by the [Floodlight](https://floodlightnews.org/sign-up-for-our-newsletter/) newsroom shows. Thermal footage captured by Floodlight via drone shows xAI is still burning gas at a facility in Southaven, [Mississippi](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/mississippi), despite a recent [Environmental Protection Agency](https://www.theguardian.com/environment/epa) (EPA) ruling reiterating that doing so requires a state permit in advance.
State regulators in [Mississippi](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/mississippi) maintain that since the turbines are parked on tractor trailers, they don’t require permits. However, the EPA has long maintained that such pollution sources require permits under the Clean Air Act.
Any exemption for these machines “could leave these engines subject to no emission standards at all”, the agency wrote in a January [final ruling](https://www.epa.gov/system/files/documents/2026-01/for-website_preamble-clean-san11542-combustion-turbines-frm-20260108-eo-12866.pdf).
However, thermal images captured by Floodlight – and analyzed by multiple experts – show more than a dozen unpermitted turbines still spewing pollutants at the plant nearly two weeks after the EPA’s recent ruling.
“That is a violation of the law,” said Bruce Buckheit, a former EPA air enforcement chief, after reviewing Floodlight’s images and EPA regulations. “You’re supposed to get permission first.”
xAI, which is seeking permits for dozens more turbines in Southaven, did not respond to multiple requests for comment. The EPA, which under Trump has initiated a [record-low number of enforcement actions](https://environmentalintegrity.org/reports/declining-environmental-enforcement-in-trumps-second-term/), declined to answer questions about the turbines at Musk’s AI facilities and referred to local authorities on permits.
The first and only public hearing on the matter is scheduled for Tuesday 17 February, and the public comment period is still open.
The Trump administration has made AI a priority, but as datacenters proliferate across the country, regulators are struggling to keep pace with the industry’s increasing reliance on custom-built or ad hoc power sources and their public health impacts on surrounding communities. And Southaven, where state regulators are at odds with federal guidance, is a prime example.

Photograph: Evan Simon/FloodlightThe turbines there help power Grok, the company’s controversial chatbot, and emit harmful pollutants [linked to health problems](https://hbr.org/2025/11/mitigating-the-public-health-impacts-of-ai-data-centers) such as asthma, lung cancer and heart attacks.
“The risk of living next to this type of power plant is well documented,” said Shaolei Ren, a UC Riverside associate professor who specializes in the health impacts of datacenters. “From the health perspective, we know that this is not good.”
Southaven residents have voiced concerns for months about the noise and pollution emanating from the 114-acre site that is largely hidden from public view – a site xAI is looking to expand.
“For them to be releasing so much pollution in such a populated area, not to mention that there are at least 10 schools within a two-mile radius of the facility, is really concerning,” said longtime resident Shannon Samsa. “It’s horrifying to me that we’re allowing this in our community.”

## From Memphis to Mississippi
The Southaven turbine cluster is part of xAi’s rapidly growing footprint along the Tennessee-Mississippi border. That expansion began in the spring of 2024 in South Memphis, next to historically Black neighborhoods, which often disproportionately bear the brunt of pollution from nearby plants, with the construction of Colossus 1, which the company touted as the world’s largest AI supercomputer.
The Southern Environmental Law Center (SELC) [released](https://www.selc.org/news/resistance-against-elon-musks-xai-facility-in-south-memphis-gets-stronger/) thermal images in April revealing that xAi had been operating more than 30 unpermitted gas-powered turbines at that site.
“We were hopeful that the health department would step in,” said Patrick Anderson, a senior attorney at the SELC. “That never happened.”

xAI’s Colossus 1 datacenter in South Memphis, Tennessee. Photograph: Evan Simon/FloodlightCounty officials in Tennessee maintained that the turbines did not require a permit despite longstanding EPA policy that they do. In July, amid local pushback, the county permitted 15 turbines for use at the Colossus 1 site.
On 15 January, the EPA reiterated its decades-old policy that such machines need a permit. By then, xAi had already built a second datacenter in the area, Colossus 2. To power it, the company parked 27 turbines just across the state line in Southaven, Mississippi, a diverse Memphis suburb with higher than average levels of air pollution.
“When you’re talking about these turbines, think of the jet engine,” said Buckheit.
Despite the EPA’s recent directive, Floodlight’s thermal imagery – analyzed by multiple experts – shows 15 unpermitted turbines in operation at the Southaven facility. Public records obtained by Floodlight show 18 of the 27 turbines have been used since November, at least.
“One might easily have expected, since this has been going on for some months, at least a stop-work order [issued from the EPA],” said Buckheit, who served during the Republican Gerald Ford and George W Bush administrations. He also said the EPA could refer the case to the Department of Justice.
“But apparently that didn’t happen.”

## Playing by a different set of rules
An EPA spokesperson did not answer Floodlight’s questions relating to its enforcement options, instead saying: “EPA does not approve the operation of gas turbines at facilities, that would be the state or local air permitting authority.”
Indeed, air permits are traditionally handled by state agencies. However, [according to its own website](https://www.epa.gov/enforcement/other-regulators-response-environmental-compliance-violations-federal-facilities), the EPA is responsible for making sure these agencies comply with federal regulations, and “generally will take enforcement action” if a state government fails to “take timely and appropriate action”.
xAI “violated the Clean Air Act the first time, and now they’re gonna copy and paste and do it again”, said the SELC’s Anderson. “I maybe had some naive hope that the regulators who are most in the day-to-day business of implementing the Clean Air Act in Mississippi would do the right thing.”

Krystal Polk’s family home (foreground) sits directly across the street from xAI’s gas plant in Southaven, Mississippi. Photograph: Evan Simon/FloodlightIn response to Floodlight’s questions, a spokesperson from the Mississippi department of environmental quality said the EPA’s recent rule leaves permitting decisions to state authorities.
“The turbines currently operating at the Southaven facility are classified as portable/mobile units under state law and therefore remain exempt from air permitting requirements during this temporary period,” they said. “Nothing in the EPA’s January 15 rule altered that determination under Mississippi regulations.”
Longtime resident Krystal Polk said she had no idea xAI was coming to Southaven until black fences were set up across the street from her house. The area, she said, was once quiet and serene, with an abundance of wildlife, but is now bombarded by ceaseless noise and pollution.

Krystal Polk. Photograph: Evan Simon/Floodlight“I do feel like xAi is playing by a different set of rules,” she said.
Polk, who has asthma, said she was forced to empty out the home that’s been in her family for generations and cancel her plans to retire there out of concerns for her health.
“We are a casualty of the whole datacenter race,” she said. “I feel that my voice doesn’t matter.”
The spokesperson for the Mississippi department of environmental quality said the agency took public concern about emissions, noise and overall quality of life seriously, and though the turbines – in the department’s view – do not require permits, all “applicable air quality standards still apply”.

## AI’s increasing thirst for fossil fuels
Despite lofty sustainability [goals](https://sustainability.atmeta.com/climate/) put forward by industry leaders, datacenters across the country are increasingly turning to fossil fuels to power the AI boom by using custom-built power plants like the ones seen in Southaven.
Roughly 75% of this power comes from natural gas, according to a [recent report](https://cleanview.co/content/power-strategies-report) by Cleanview, which tracks clean energy and datacenter projects.
“Nearly every project we reviewed mentions renewables, hydrogen, or nuclear in its public announcements,” the author wrote, but renewables aren’t scheduled until 2028 or later.
And “nuclear is a decade away”, he said.
Now xAI is seeking to expand in Southaven, applying in January for a permit to operate 41 turbines at the site.

xAI’s Colossus 2 datacenter in Southaven, Mississippi, powers the company’s controversial chatbot, Grok. Photograph: Evan Simon/FloodlightThe facility could emit more than 6m tons of greenhouse gases and more than 1,300 tons of health-harming air pollutants every year, according to xAI’s permit application. That would make it among the largest fossil fuel power plants in the state. The company also bought property in Southaven for a third datacenter that, when completed, will make the Colossus cluster – spanning Memphis to Southaven – one of the largest datacenter complexes in the world.
“It would be devastating,” said Samsa, the Southaven resident. “No community in their right mind would want something like this in their back yards.”
Samsa, a physician’s assistant, had hoped to raise a family in Southaven, but the presence of xAi’s gas-powered turbines has made her and her husband reconsider. She has helped collect more than 1,000 signatures for a [petition](https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/shut-down-the-unpermitted-xai-power-plant-in-southaven?source=direct_link&) demanding Mississippi authorities shut down the plant.
“I don’t want my children to be growing up around such massive amounts of air pollution,” she said. “I don’t want them to have to live in a place where their health and their overall wellbeing is not considered over economics.”

- Anthropic has opened Claude’s most advanced features to all free users
- Claude's file creation, Connectors and customizable Skills features are now available to anyone
- The free plans have also upgraded voice and image search and can handle longer conversations
[Anthropic](https://www.techradar.com/tag/anthropic) has deployed a host of advanced AI tools reserved for premium Claude subscribers to its free tier. Now anyone using [Claude](https://www.techradar.com/tag/claude) can access the [chatbot](https://www.techradar.com/tag/chatbot)'s file creation, Connectors, and customizable Skills features.
The company has also enhanced the free tier version of Claude to hold longer conversations and offer better interactive displays, voice features, and image search.
The rollout represents a major escalation in accessibility to high-end AI tools. It brings professional-grade features to the same category of users who, until now, could only experiment with them a little bit.
These upgrades come at a moment when competing platforms like [ChatGPT](https://www.techradar.com/news/chatgpt-explained), [Gemini](https://www.techradar.com/computing/artificial-intelligence/what-is-google-gemini), and others are exploring ways of making AI chatbots more profitable through new subscriptions, paywalls, and monetization strategies like ChatGPT ads. Claude’s free plan enhancements are a strong and deliberate contrast.

## Files, connections, and skills
File creation alone is arguably a huge deal, allowing free users to generate usable PowerPoint decks, spreadsheets, PDFs, and Word documents directly inside a conversation.
You can turn a text request into a working document almost instantly. For instance, you could describe a budget you want to set up and see your vague goals become a spreadsheet with built-in formulas.
Or if you wanted a slide deck complete with narration, you just have to outline the broad strokes of the presentation you have in mind. By moving these outputs directly into the free tier, Anthropic has removed a major barrier to everyday utility.
Sign up for breaking news, reviews, opinion, top tech deals, and more.

Meanwhile, Connectors allow Claude to act on behalf of a user inside their calendars, email inboxes, or design platforms like Canva. Instead of simply supplying text to be copied elsewhere, Claude can use Connectors to work inside the tools people already rely on.
The Skills feature further extends this way of thinking by training Claude to perform in ways you prefer. You might teach Claude to format reports with a certain aesthetic, write emails in their voice, or follow specific brand guidelines for documents.
The Skills tool reworks one-time instructions into long-term memory. This kind of customization has traditionally been limited to enterprise or business tiers in other AI ecosystems.

For an average user who only interacted with AI in small bursts before, Claude’s new capabilities can change the rhythm of personal organization. Anthropic has made a clear statement about where it sees Claude in the AI ecosystem.
Opening the gates to its more powerful features paints a picture of AI as a utility more than a luxury. Future AI assistants may be judged not just by their intelligence but by how seamlessly they integrate into the fabric of everyday life.
Claude’s expanded free suite gives the broadest possible audience access to tools that handle real work, turning AI from something people occasionally check into something they consistently use. As the competition intensifies, this decision could reshape expectations around what “free AI” means, and just how free it really is.

WASHINGTON — The Federal Aviation Administration has approved plans for Starship launches from Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Complex 39A as SpaceX shifts Falcon 9 launches away from the historic pad.

The FAA publicly released Jan. 30 [a final environmental impact statement and record of decision](https://www.faa.gov/space/stakeholder_engagement/spacex_starship_ksc) for SpaceX’s proposal to conduct Starship launches and landings at LC-39A. SpaceX sought approval for up to 44 Starship-Super Heavy launches from the site and 88 landings, 44 each for the Super Heavy booster and the Starship upper stage.

The agency concluded that the “Preferred Alternative,” which allows the launches and landings, offered benefits that outweighed impacts such as noise and disruptions to air traffic compared with a “No Action Alternative” that would not permit the operations.

“The undersigned finds that the No Action Alternative would result in restrictive licensing that would impede the FAA’s ability to assist the commercial space transportation industry in meeting projected demand for services and expansion in new markets,” the record of decision stated. The document was signed by Katie Cranor, executive director of the Office of Operational Safety in the FAA’s Office of Commercial Space Transportation.

“The Preferred Alternative, in contrast, would allow the greatest development and growth of the U.S. commercial space launch industry and aids the FAA’s statutory mission,” she concluded.

The final environmental impact statement closely resembles a draft released in mid-2025. That draft [generated extensive public comment during in-person and virtual hearings](https://spacenews.com/faa-approves-increase-in-falcon-9-launches-while-studying-starship-environmental-impacts/), with concerns raised about launch noise, sonic booms during reentry and airspace closures that could delay flights by up to two hours at several major Florida airports.

The final statement notes that while some noise mitigation measures are available, “significant effects associated with the proposed action are unavoidable.”

“The integration of Starship launches, booster landings, and reentries into the National Airspace System would significantly impact air traffic,” the EIS stated. “The FAA would manage such operations in a way that minimizes disruption to existing aviation operations and ensures safety for all airspace users,” including the use of “enhanced real-time communication systems and well-defined scheduling and deconfliction procedures.”

The FAA’s decision clears the way for SpaceX to complete Starship launch infrastructure at LC-39A and prepare for its first launch from the site, potentially later this year. At the Space Mobility conference in Orlando, Fla., on Jan. 28, Col. Brian Chatman, commander of Space Launch Delta 45, said he expected the first Starship launch from LC-39A to take place in late summer or fall.

As SpaceX prepares to bring Starship operations to LC-39A, the company is scaling back Falcon 9 use of the pad. The most recent Falcon 9 launch from LC-39A occurred Dec. 17. All seven Falcon 9 launches from Florida so far in 2026 have used nearby Space Launch Complex (SLC) 40.

“Going forward, we’re planning to launch most of our Falcon 9 missions from Space Launch Complex 40. That will include all Dragon missions,” said Lee Echerd, a SpaceX senior mission manager, during a NASA briefing Jan. 30 about the upcoming Crew-12 mission, which will launch from SLC-40.

That shift, he said, “will allow our Cape team to focus 39A on Falcon Heavy launches and, hopefully, our first Starship launches later this year.”
