SpaceX will hit 83 orbital launches from its KSC pad. That’s one more than the 82 shuttle launches that took place over the 30-year history of that program.

How cool!!

    It’s an amazing milestone. Makes me wonder how they manage Musk from fucking shit up every few weeks.

      Right? That’s kind-of the weird thing, this milestone is very much attributable to Musk (and of course the countless engineers that make it happen) despite his… eccentricity, shall we say.

        I feel like Gwynne probably plays a role in reigning in some of Elon’s more rash decisions (such as when he tried to cancel Falcon Heavy).
