Later today (6/12/2025), if the launch goes as scheduled, Space X will have launched their 500th mission. The vast majority of their missions have been made with the Falcon 9 platform which employs the re-useable first-stage booster. Space X has drastically reduced the cost of launching payloads into space by reusing the first stage. One such booster, B1062, was used 25 times.
As of this date, SpaceX accounted for approximately 73% of global space launches.
