In 2018 when SpaceX first tested the Falcon Heavy, they had 49 total successful launches to orbit, 21 recoveries of boosters, and 6 reflights of used boosters.

Today, they have 386 successful launches, 348 recoveries, and 319 reflights….

Amazing. I did a research project on Elon Musk in high school back in 2015, before their first recovery. I knew SpaceX would be his most important venture.

I used to watch every launch, hoping to see the first landing, and I continued watching nearly every launch live, and rewatching them. It’s gotten to a point that I don’t watch them, because it is so routine. I only watch Starship test flights now. Truly amazing.
