SpaceX hits record milestones
Tuesday’s launch was the company’s 80th this week and while the company has been a bit behind on their launch rate, they are halfway to its 148 goals.
Launches had to take a two-week halt due to some complications, but the ability to bounce back is commendable.
This year has been pretty good for SpaceX as far as milestones go, besides its 80th launch, on August 4th, the company launched its 75th Falcon 9 rocket of the year which was also its 25th flight from Vandenberg Space Force Base.
