SpaceX flies the same Falcon 9 booster for a 20th time
SpaceX just flew the same Falcon 9 booster for a 20th time, and it stuck the droneship landing again.
Monday evening from Vandenberg, booster B1088 lifted 27 Starlink satellites on Starlink Group 15-25, according to SpaceX and Spaceflight Now. About eight and a half minutes later it touched down on Of Course I Still Love You in the Pacific.
That one core has now done what used to take twenty throwaway rockets.
Liftoff was 8:28pm ET (5:28pm PT).
I still stop scrolling when a booster comes home for the twentieth time.
