• SiG 2024-11-12 at 02:44 on SpaceX StatisticsIn the statistics section it lists a number for Shortest Time Between Launches 1h 5m (Starlink 8-10 / Starlink 9-5) Is that with both launches from the KSC and Cape Canaveral SFS, or was one in California and the other in Florida. Today's two launches, one from KSC pad 39A and the other from CCSFS SLC-40 at 4h 3m was the shortest I recall, but that means exactly nothing.
• Ramiro Rivero 2024-10-08 at 14:36 on SpaceX StatisticsThank you , Scroochy. One opportunity here: Heras has gotten a very high scape velocity. I don't know if you have this information, for Solar System exploration.

• ticklestuff 2024-06-21 at 05:34 on SpaceX Mission PatchesSome people will describe it as an employee patch, but it's the exact same patch from the SpaceX Store. And they will be charging many $$$ more than the $15 charge on the shop! The employee patch has the 'X' on it somewhere.
• ticklestuff 2024-06-21 at 05:32 on SpaceX Mission PatchesYes they always make employee patches for all of the Starship (and Falcon) flights so far. Of course they are for internal use. However they eventually leak out for sale on the bidding sites. To get a customer (not 'X') patch these days is rare, you have to be paying for the launch or well placed. Fortunately SpaceX does release the Starship and usually Crew patches on their store.
• Sandrotto 2024-06-03 at 19:49 on SpaceX Mission PatchesWas there an employee patch for Flight 3 as well? Do they produce employee patches for all their flights or just for specific ones?

• scr00chy 2024-04-06 at 20:27 on SpaceX Mission PatchesThe employee version is given out to SpaceX employees and can be different from the public version. Looking at SpaceX Patch List, you can see that the employee patches for IFT-1 and IFT-2 have the iconic SpaceX "X", which is either completely missing on the public patch, or is just a regular X.
• NovaRob 2024-04-06 at 19:29 on SpaceX Mission PatchesI was hunting for an original SpaceX issued Starship Test Flight patch on ebay.

• Gunter Krebs 2023-09-24 at 00:32 on Falcon rockets use three configurations of their upper stage. How are they different?this means we have at least four (or even up to six) versions of the upper stage, depending on which engine is used. So far the short-nozzle engine has only used with standard versions and I am not sure if it is available with the medium or long duration kits.

• scr00chy 2023-08-03 at 20:19 on Falcon rockets use three configurations of their upper stage. How are they different?Interesting theory. I think SpaceX themselves said the shorter nozzle reduces costs, so that part isn't speculation, but maybe the reduced Gs are a nice bonus?
• Lance 2023-08-03 at 17:23 on Falcon rockets use three configurations of their upper stage. How are they different?Are we sure it's a cost-saving measure instead of a G-force-reducing measure? For example if the payload were significantly lighter (or just more delicate), a shorter nozzle would mean less performance aka less G-forces, which would in theory reduce the G-forces experienced by the payload during 2nd stage burns.
• scr00chy 2023-07-31 at 16:04 on Falcon rockets use three configurations of their upper stage. How are they different?Yes, they use a Merlin Vacuum engine with a shorter nozzle on some missions that aren't very demanding performance-wise. It's a cost-saving measure.
• Ramiro Rivero 2023-07-31 at 15:31 on Falcon rockets use three configurations of their upper stage. How are they different?Thank you! Is it known if there are also any differences with the engines? I saw at least one second stage with a different Merlin engine, way shorter than the engines I'm used to.

There are many types of orbit and it's not useful to try to track stats for all of them, the main ones are enough (LEO, GTO, GEO, overall). But later I'll probably add Moon and Mars.

IIRC, this launch was present on the preceding version of the graphic, so it seems to have gotten dropped accidentally when 4-34 was added. Also, a minor nitpick: the date on B1069.1 is listed as "Dic 21 2021" rather than "Dec 21 2021". (Guessing this is a bilingual slip-up since...
• scr00chy 2022-08-31 at 06:47 on SpaceX Booster LandingsNot sure how you're counting, but if you agree with the 138 successes, adding the 11 non-ocean failed landings in this list gives you 149 attempts total, so it seems to check out.
• Eric Ralph 2022-08-31 at 05:12 on SpaceX Booster LandingsI'm curious, how are you counting these to get 149 total landing attempts? I understand the 138 successes but I'm counting 154 total landing attempts in this list, 10 of which intentionally targeted the ocean instead of a pad or ship, so 144 total recovery attempts. Maybe I'm miscounting or missing some hidden logic.

• scr00chy 2022-05-29 at 21:46 on SpaceX used to conduct static fire tests before every launch, but not anymore. Why is that?Yeah, that definitely happened a few times, especially in the early days, but even more recently.
• HdwJunkie 2022-05-29 at 14:08 on SpaceX used to conduct static fire tests before every launch, but not anymore. Why is that?I believe there was was one (or more) launches aborted after ignition (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/spacex-falcon-9-rocket-safely-aborts-takeoff-after-engine-ignition-and-shutdown/). My guess is that telemetry, and comparison of the pre-launch telemetry data to "family" data, prior to actual release of the hold downs, is equivalent to the data collected during a static fire.
