How Space X is turning rocket science into routine

In total, the company’s Falcon 9 or Falcon Heavy rockets have staged a total of 270 launches, <a href="https://www.visualcapitalist.com/the-cost-of-space-flight/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">reflecting the economies of scale and learning</a> that can be generated. In total, in the first half of the year, SpaceX has put no less than 447 tons of materials into orbit, 80% of everything that has been launched worldwide by the entire aerospace industry. And all this from a company founded in 2002 by a man with no previous experience in the field. Before SpaceX, rocket launches were very special and very rare occasions: each launch was a new project, with different engineering and parameters, which provided only limited experience to the company involved. Now, SpaceX aims to reach ten monthly launches by the end of 2023, with the goal of reaching 12 a month by some point next year.  <a href="https://medium.com/enrique-dans/how-space-x-is-turning-rocket-science-into-routine-29fb7eb0d4d4">Learn More</a>
