![]() 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. |
