Starship will replace both the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy. The Falcon Heavy has flown 3 times and may never fly again. A Falcon 9 launch puts around the same carbon into the atmosphere as a long haul flight.

You must mean weeks not years lol. The next SN prototype will ready for launch in no time (despite damage from tipping over in the highbay) , and the one after and so on.

Since June 2010, rockets from the SpaceX Falcon 9 family have been launched 104 times, with 102 full mission successes, one partial failure and one total loss of spacecraft, that's a 98.08% success rate. The recent SN8 (Starship prototype) test went very well to those of us who understand prototype testing.
