๐ SpaceX Booster Flies for a Record 36th Time, Closing In on Space Shuttle Discovery
SpaceX's Falcon 9 booster B1067 launched for a record-breaking 36th time on July 9th, deploying 29 Starlink satellites before nailing its landing on a drone ship in the Atlantic. The booster first flew in 2021 on a NASA cargo mission, and is now just three flights behind Space Shuttle Discovery's all-time reuse record. At this pace, a single rocket core could soon surpass the most-flown spacecraft in history. Does it feel surreal that a booster launched just five years ago might top the entire Space Shuttle program's reuse record?
