The first stage, also called the booster, landed on the drone shop, a floating barge-like ship. Two of SpaceX’s Falcon 9 boosters have, each, flown 16 times.

An excellent resource of all things regarding space, astronomy, etc is behindtheblack.com. Robert Zimmerman is fantastic, and a right-thinking individual.

From there, commenting on this launch:

The leaders in the 2023 launch race:

54 SpaceX
31 China
10 Russia
6 Rocket Lab
6 India

American private enterprise still leads China in successful launches 62 to 31, and the entire world combined 62 to 52, while SpaceX by itself leads the world (excluding American companies) 54 to 52.
