A SpaceX booster now trails only 4 space shuttles in flight experience
SpaceX's effort to take first-stage reuse from moonshot to mundane is nothing short of extraordinary. It still makes me smile to think of how breathlessly excited we got over individual frames of grainy footage from the first water landing tests. The fact that landing and reuse now seem routine gives me a high degree of confidence that they will succeed in future endeavors - landing a Starship seemed inevitable, rather than the stuff of sci-fi dreams that it was only a few years ago.
