  Can you explain how a booster that flew 23 times is a loss when no other companies are doing it? I don’t like Musk but people need to separate their views of him from SpaceX

  The rocket blasted off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station and got all 21 Starlink internet satellites to orbit. But the first-stage booster fell over in a fireball moments after landing on an ocean platform, the first such accident in years. It was the 23rd time this particular booster had launched, a recycling record for SpaceX.

  Shit happens.

    a recycling record for SpaceX.

    The article writes “a recycling record for the entire fucking world” a little funny.

      I’m not entirely sure what point you’re trying to make there.
