Plans to change LC-39A to support StarShip too.
[Twitter]
LC-39A is the Apollo Moon Shot pad, the prime Shuttle pad, currently the Falcon 9 pad for NASA launches and the Falcon Heavy pad. Now it with have the capability to launch the Starship Heavy (BFR) (Mars Colony Rocket)(Moon Rocket) and all the Falcon rockets.

"SpaceX plans to launch the Starship/Super Heavy up to 24 times per year from LC-39A. A static fire test would be conducted on each stage prior to each launch."
So 48 firings a year of StarShip Heavy. Note that this document was written before the first stage engine count rose to 35 and the second stage dropped to 6 engines so all the numbers might need tweaking.
Looks like Super Heavy lands on an ASDS. (Autonomous spaceport drone ship)

Starship LZ-1 at first. Pad inside the fence at 39A still under evaluation!

Discussion at NASAspaceflight.com

The document is talks about sonic booms and shows a peak overpressure contour around 2.0 psf near Orlando. I can hear F9 landing booms in Orlando just fine I am curious how it will compare to Super Heavy / Starship.

Starting on page 88 is a list of facilities used by various commercial entities.

This is probably of interest to some folks:

Table 1: Raptor Nozzle Characteristics
Throat Radius (in)
4.362

Downstream radius of curvature (in)
1.309

Tangency angle (deg)
32.0

Nozzle lip exit angle (deg)
6.0
Nozzle exit diameter (in)
51.226

Nozzle throat to exit length (in)
60.06

The older rockets:
"SpaceX plans to increase the Falcon launch frequency to 20 launches per year from LC-39A and up to 50 launches per year from LC-40 by the year 2024."
