This was also the sixth launch of a Falcon 9 rocket in a period of eight days, more flights than SpaceX’s main US rival, United Launch Alliance, has launched in 17 months.

Ouch! I knew it was bad, being in this transition period to Vulcan, but hearing the numbers really puts it into perspective.

The 20 flight milestone for a single booster is also incredibly impressive. Funny looking back to when booster reuse was considered a fool’s errand. Nice to have some good news for a change.
