On April 12, SpaceX launched this Falcon 9 rocket. It was an otherwise unremarkable launch, save for the fact that the booster flew on its 20th mission—a record for the company. “Since its first mission in November 2020, this single first stage has launched eight astronauts and more than 500 satellites, totaling 261+ metric tons to orbit in under four years,” the company said.
