...the Starlink 6-1 launch culminated in the 100th consecutively successful landing of a Falcon rocket booster. As a result, SpaceX’s landing reliability now rivals the launch reliability of some of the most reliable rockets ever flown.
Falcon 9 booster B1076 touched down on one of SpaceX’s three drone ships, marking the rocket family’s 100th consecutively successful landing. Starlink 6-1 was also the Falcon family’s 183rd consecutively successful launch, as a Falcon landing failure has never prevented the completion of a mission’s primary objective.
TOPICS: Business/Economy
KEYWORDS: elonmusk; musk; rockets; spacex; starlink; tesla
This article is basically an ad for Tesla, but 100 successful landings in a row is worth celebrating. So is 183 successful launches.
Congratulations, Tesla. An American success story.

Skipped right past the flying cars we were supposed to get in the 80s to space cars.

Great testimony to the virtue of private enterprise and creativity. No bureaucracy could have done this. Look at the shuttle program— pathetic by comparison.

On a clear night from an oceanfront Myrtle Beach condo, the Fla launch, the rocket going by overhead and then the boosters coming back down off the coast is pretty cool show.

Had to read it twice.
"SpaceX’s landing reliability now rivals the launch reliability of some of the most reliable rockets ever flown."

Musk is a true genius, but tesla is a joke Your post made me examine my assumption that SpaceX was a division of Tesla. I don't know how I got that idea. They are completely separate companies, with the same founder.
Thanks.
