					<description><![CDATA[TallDave,

SpaceX&#039;s percentage of all mass launched to Earth orbit or beyond annually has been above 80% for a few years now.  The advent of Starship will simply move this above 90% in short order.  F9s that launch Starlinks - and probably Starshields as well - are typically loaded at, or very near, their throw weight limits.  The same seems sure to apply also to Starships doing Starlink deployments - as most early non-test Starship launches will be doing.  It seems a safe bet that total annual tonnage to Earth orbit or beyond will rise more than an order of magnitude before the end of the current decade.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Check which pad they are launching from.  My only viewing was from the wrong location.  (The causeway?) and it was an RTLS from SLC-40 to LZ-1 which was cool, but it was all &quot;way down there&quot; while LC-39A was in perfect sight with a booster upright from flight the next day.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Going down to Orlando for a week, and hope to be able to get over to Canaveral to see a launch. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best way to do that? The last time I was there was in the &#039;70s, and I&#039;m sure things have changed a bit. Thanks for any guidance!]]></description>
