When did they do this? I didn’t hear of any SpaceX launches besides the falcon launch yesterday for a government spy satellite. I wonder if this one was also bundled in.
There were three SpaceX launches yesterday. (An ISS crew, a Falcon Heavy spy satellite, and a big rideshare that included this).
There is a global market of only about 25 rocket launches a year (according to Arianne aerospace) and SpaceX launched 3 in a single day?
There were 317 successful orbital launches in 2025 [0] and 229 so far this year [1]...[0]: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_in_spaceflight#Orbital_launches" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_in_spaceflight#Orbital_la...[1]: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_in_spaceflight#Orbital_launches" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_in_spaceflight#Orbital_la...Edit: mistyped 317 as 313
