ROUTINE BUT NEVER BORING: SpaceX sets rocket-reuse record on 100th Falcon 9 launch of the year.

Starlink launches may have become commonplace, but this one was definitely worth staying up for.

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket topped with 29 Starlink internet satellites lifted off from Florida’s Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on Tuesday (Aug. 25), at 5:33 a.m. EDT (0933 GMT).

It was the 100th Falcon 9 flight of 2026 and the record-breaking 37th mission for this rocket’s first stage, a booster designated B1067.

The initial goal was to get each Falcon 9 booster up to 10 flights.
