This is CBSI on the world.

Behind the Black, Bob Zimmerman is here.

It's happy birthday Behind the Black, Bob's birthday.

We're celebrating with what looks to be an imminent success, more than one, on the Earth-Moon system.

However, we begin with just down here on little old earth where there's a new indoor and outdoor record for reusability. Bob,

I remember the old record, I think. I'm old enough to remember. I think it was around 20. What's

happened? Good evening to you.

Good evening, John. We have to be clear about this. This is a record for specifically SpaceX's Falcon 9 rockets and the first stage boosters. Reuse spacecraft, you know, the shuttle

flew several of the shuttle vehicles flew many times than this, but the Falcon boosters are catching up

slowly, and that's what this story is about. Over the weekend, SpaceX launched another 21

Starlink satellites. The Falcon 9 rocket, its booster, first-stage boost, completed its 26th flight,

which is a record for Falcon 9

boosters.

That's the most of any of those boosters have flown.

They've got several have flown 23, 22, some over 20, but this is a new record for a boost.

It's successfully landed on its drone ship in the Atlantic, and it's 26th flight.

There's no reason why I can't do the 27th, and they say they're going for 40.

This particular booster now has now flown more than the Space Shuttle Endeavour,

which over 19 years from to 92 to 2011 did

28 flights, 25 flights. The boost from SpaceX did that in less than three and a half years.

And the next shuttle record would be Columbia, which flew 28 times. We expect that to

happen. And I expect multiple SpaceX boosters to eventually break this record. We go from SpaceX's success
