After Thursday’s flight, Starship is already the most revolutionary rocket ever built
For fun, we could compare Starship as it exists today to other available rockets.
Today was 310th launch of Falcon 9.
Bring the 30th Dragon mission to ISS.
and 26th launch this year.
This year Falcon 9 will past the launch numbers of Titan rocket of 368 !
After that is Soyuz with 2000th launches.
SpaceX need 17 years to reach that number (100th/year).
i guess that will be the task of Starship/Superheavy to get those launch number
Estimated date for IFT-4 is May 4, 2024.
