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!!

    “Orbital class booster” vs “actual orbital reentry” is still a biiiiitttt different on the loading, but it’s interesting nonetheless.

      Good point, a better comparison would be to Dragon, or (eventually) Starship. Still a ways to go on those, as the most flown Dragon (C206 Endeavour) is only on its 5th flight.
