It’s getting to the point that i should probably just rename the Space Cynic blog the “SpaceX is Awesome” blog….
SpaceX has done it again.
Actually, according to this article today from Gizmodo, they’ve done it 4 times in one flight.
Specifically, the latest Falcon 9 launch set these records:
- Falcon 9 rocket re-flown THREE times
- Each flight from a different US spaceport
- Launch of 64 satellites from one rocket (although India set the all-time record, this is a first for the US)
- 19th launch for SpaceX this year. N-N-N-N-Nineteen.
Congrats to the entire team at SpaceX!
I saw a few launches at the Cape the last few years, including a night launch but they expended the 1st stage on that one. Just think of the possibilities if they get the BFR to work.
