SpaceX’s Falcon rocket family reaches 200 straight successful missions (spaceflightnow.com) 4 points by rippercushions 3y ago ↗ HN
[–] iknownothow 3y ago ↗ Does anyone know how many Falcon 9s were required to make it to 200 flights? I assume they didn't actually make 200 rockets. [–] jfengel 3y ago ↗ Not sure, but the Wikipedia page lists a total of 30 B5-block boosters, of which (I think) 23 have at least one launch. Many have over 10 launches.That's not a full accounting, but the number is clearly well under 200.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Falcon_9_first-stage_b...
