Falcon 9 flew more missions in ONE YEAR than the entire Space Shuttle program flew in 30 years
• The entire Shuttle fleet:
135 missions from 1981–2011
• Falcon 9 in 2025 alone:
165 launches
SpaceX exceeded the Shuttle program’s entire lifetime mission count by 30 launches in just 12 months
And Falcon 9 also launched more times than every other orbital launch vehicle combined that year
At the Shuttle program’s historical average cadence, reaching 165 missions would have taken roughly 37 years
Falcon 9 did it in ONE
And the hardware reuse comparison is just as insane:
• Space Shuttle Discovery — 39 flights across roughly 27 years
• Falcon 9 booster B1067 — 37 flights in just over 5 years
B1067 first flew on June 3, 2021
By August 25, 2026, the same booster had launched and landed successfully 37 times
A single Falcon 9 first stage came within TWO flights of the most-flown Shuttle orbiter’s lifetime flight count in about one-fifth of the time
What once took decades of launch operations now happens within a single year of Falcon 9 cadence
SpaceX turned reusability into an industrial-scale operation
Trevs earn a hard fought 3-1 victory over @iggysoccerchi in Chicago on a beautiful evening. Congrats to our awesome seniors for leading the way! Good luck to SICP in the postseason 💪 #GoTrevs

Today is one of our favorite days of the year: Earth Day! It's 24 hours dedicated to the importance of preserving the natural environments found on our planet. Obviously, we're huge fans. This year we're stoked to commemorate the occasion from a position of hope. #EarthDay2021
Trevs win their final road game 2-0 vs. a tough GBS squad 💪 We also take the PK shootout 4-3 for good measure 👏 Good luck to the Titans on Saturday vs. MS 👍
