SpaceX Flight rate
So, I got curious earlier today and started to look up some numbers: So far, as of today there have been 70 launches. 16 of those were by Falcon 9. That's 23% of all flights world-wide, nearly 1/4. At this rate, they'll most likely hit 25% by the end of the year. The next most flown booster is the R-7 (two variants of the Soyuz) at flights. And of the Falcon 9 flights, 3 reflights of boosters with at least one more scheduled this year (3 more if Heavy makes it). So, I can say with some confidence that even if nothing else changes, is already a success. And had a huge impact on the market. Next year only promises to get better. |

But Greg, Mayfly is convinced that it will all turn into baked ziti next year and be a total flop. Doesn't that influence your view at all? -- "Ordinarily he is insane.

Looks like they are starting to hit their "Stride(r)" doesn't it Greg? (ahem). But Greg, Mayfly is convinced that it will all turn into baked ziti next year and be a total flop.
