Starlink: SpaceX’s 100th mission may break an incredible reusability record - Inverse

Eric Berger, senior space reporter at Ars Technica, claimed via Twitter last week that the mission could use a booster that has previously flown five times.

This would be the sixth mission for booster B1049, the first time SpaceX has flown the same first-stage rocket that many times.

Landing a booster after flight saves approximately $46.5 million of the $62 million price tag associated with a Falcon 9 launch.

This is also the same month that the SpaceX Crew Dragon returned to Earth with humans for the first time.

Perhaps most impressive is the fact that it was only last month that SpaceX set a record with the same booster.
