SpaceX’s ability to launch and land the same first-stage booster multiple times has revolutionized access to space due to the lower costs that it brings.
SpaceX has launched and landed a first-stage Falcon 9 booster for a record 21st time.
The record-breaking mission got underway from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Friday night and deployed 23 Starlink internet satellites into orbit.
The first-stage booster supporting the mission previously launched GPS III Space Vehicle 04, GPS III Space Vehicle 05, Inspiration4, Ax-1, Nilesat 301, OneWeb Launch 17, ARABSAT BADR-8, and now 14 Starlink missions.
