You have to give SpaceX credit where credit is due. If we need to go to space, let's do it in reusable vehicles, and booster 1058 flew 19 times before getting destroyed by the ocean. As Scott points out, that is more times than the whole Saturn V program.

📆 Nov 15, 2023 #ULA is seeking to scale up production of the #Vulcan rocket to reach a cadence of two launches 🚀🚀 a month by the end of 📆 2025. That seems rather ambitious and might be asking a lot of suppliers, including engine manufacturer #BlueOrigin. https://arstechnica.com/space/2023/11/ula-chief-on-the-vulcan-rocket-the-path-to-flight-one-is-clear/

The upside of #SpaceX's "Transporter" launches for customers is that they can rely on regular, low-cost access to #space 🌌 aboard the reliable #Falcon9 rocket 🚀. The downside is that the #satellites 🛰️ are all released into a basic #orbit, and if they want to reach a different altitude or inclination, they have to bring their own propulsion along for the ride.

This has led to the advent of "last mile" 🚐 services from various companies https://arstechnica.com/space/2023/11/impulse-space-appears-to-succeed-with-its-first-spacecraft/
