That increase in overall launches matches the increase by SpaceX alone, which performed 134 Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launches in 2024, up from 96 in 2023. The company performed more orbital launches than the rest of the world combined.
Holy shit.
It’s even more impressive when you compare mass-to-orbit, rather than just the number of launches:

Just think once we hit 365 launches per year, that’s one launch per day.
I think that a daily launch cadence will be difficult to achieve with Falcon 9. We’ll likely have to wait for Starship launches to ramp up.
