SpaceX's most reliable rocket is OVER!
This why SpaceX ditches its own best rocket ever built...
SpaceX is killing its own 99,8% rate successful rocket ever built
More than 697 launches, with a success rate of 99.8%!
More than 670 successful landings, with a success rate of 98.1%!
Fifty-six boosters have been reused at least twice. And a single Falcon 9 booster can be reused 20 to 35 times, with the world record standing at 37 flights, set by B1067.
But Falcon 9’s records don’t stop there!
This fleet has delivered an estimated 10,000 tons of cargo into orbit and deployed 12,900 Starlink satellites, helping build the largest satellite internet network in the world.
It is also the first and only commercial rocket to carry humans into orbit, continuing to fly numerous crewed and cargo missions to the International Space Station.
This is arguably the most capable, reliable, economically viable, and successful rocket humanity has ever built.
Yet Falcon 9 may soon be retired after less than two decades of service.
Of course, we don’t get to decide its fate. That decision belongs to SpaceX and Elon Musk. So, why would they choose to kill the most successful rocket ever built?
