SpaceX surpasses its own record for the number of rockets launched in a year
On Tuesday, Oct. 15, SpaceX launched its 100th rocket this year, then sent its 101st aloft two hours later, both in their medium-lift launch vehicle known as Falcon 9. This surpassed its own record of 98 launches in 2023 and is a prime example of how the company is redefining low cost access to space, thanks in part to its reusable rockets.
