SpaceX made a name for itself by producing the first reusable and sustainable rocket platform. That platform, the Falcon 9, took some serious time to perfect, but the company now launches and lands them with such incredible regularity that it's barely even news anymore. That's really something, especially when you consider the many failures the company had to endure in getting to this point.
Now, with a successful launch and landing of a flight-proven Falcon 9 this past weekend, the company set a new record and is now incredibly close to nailing a huge milestone. The Falcon 9 that took off on Sunday and helped deliver a batch of 60 Starlink communications satellites into Earth orbit had already been sent skyward 8 times before. On Sunday it completed its 9th launch and landing, which is a record.
