SpaceX launches Starlink satellites on record 20th reflight of a Falcon 9 rocket first stage
https://www.space.com/spacex-falcon-9-2 ... group-6-49updated 4 hours ago
SpaceX has broken its rocket-reuse record yet again.
A Falcon 9 rocket launched 23 of SpaceX's Starlink internet satellites to orbit from Florida's Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on Friday (April 12) at 9:40 p.m. EDT (0140 GMT on April 13).
It was the 20th liftoff for this particular Falcon 9 first stage, according to a SpaceX mission description, setting a new reusability mark for the company. The mission lifted off on the 43rd anniversary of NASA's first launch of its reusable spacecraft, the space shuttle, which first flew this day in 1981.
To plan, the Falcon 9's first stage came back to Earth for the 20th time, landing about 8.5 minutes after it launched on the drone ship A Shortfall of Gravitas, which was stationed in the Atlantic Ocean off the Florida coast.
The Falcon 9's upper stage, meanwhile, continued hauling the 23 Starlink satellites to low Earth orbit (LEO). The spacecraft were set to be deployed there about 65.5 minutes after liftoff.

SpaceX Mars Fleet Operations With Thousands of Starships
April 16, 2024 by Brian Wang
https://www.nextbigfuture.com/2024/04/s ... ships.htmlElon discussed SpaceX plans to send a fleet of 1000-1200 Starships every two years to Mars. SpaceX Mars fleet operations would have huge challenges.
The plan is to launch 1.5 million tons to orbit every two years. They would then send 250,000 tons to Mars.
If every Mars-bound SpaceX Starship can take 250 tons of payload then there would need to be 1000 Starships to Mars.
