As many missions as NASA's space shuttle
All of SpaceX's orbital flights this year have been carried out by Falcon 9 rockets. In fact, these rockets have now completed as many missions in the last 11 months as NASA's space shuttle did in its three-decade-long career. The latest launch was the 19th for this particular booster, designated as 1081. It successfully landed in the Pacific Ocean on drone ship "Of Course I Still Love You" about eight-and-a-half minutes after liftoff.
