How many times SpaceX will realistically launch in 2025

Will SpaceX really launch Falcon 180 times in 2025? Elon Musk and Gwynne Shotwell say so. I think that may be an upper limit. I look at the numbers and break down how many Falcons we should really expect SpaceX to fly in this year and why Falcon's days are numbered.

Correction: I said the percentage increase of launches between 2022 and 2023 was 87%, but it's actually 97%.
