Looks like this is getting delayed until after Crew-6

Another of the thousand cuts that may spell the death of the 100-launch aspiration.
100 launches is aspiration, but you're speaking WAY too early. They're still on the exponential curve for 100 launches (linear makes no sense). Noise here and there is expected. (Maybe you want one of those classic johnsmith frowny faces )

And if you want to follow - we are tracking it here:

compared to last year...looks about the same against the goal. But early days obvioulsy.

The first stage booster supporting this mission previously launched Crew-1, Crew-2, SXM-8, CRS-23, IXPE, Transporter-4, Transporter-5, Globalstar FM15, ISI EROS C-3 and two Starlink missions. Following stage separation, Falcon 9’s first stage will land on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship stationed in the Pacific Ocean.

Just saw the notification from @SpaceX that the #Starlink Group 2-7 launch is now set for 2023-03-03 at 18:38:50 UTC with deployment at 18:54:17.140 UTC. Sorry for the delay in getting this out but the pre-launch SupGP data is now updated: https://celestrak.org/NORAD/elements/supplemental/table.php?FILE=starlink-g2-7
