Part 5/7:
In contrast to the newer competition, SpaceX’s Falcon 9 has set a remarkable record, achieving 25 launches and landings of a single booster. Originally designed for just ten reuse flights, the Falcon 9 has surprised everyone by reaching this unprecedented usage level. With its successful reusability strategies, the Falcon 9 has revolutionized launch frequency and affordability in the space industry, challenging competitors to keep pace.
As SpaceX focuses on expanding Falcon 9’s capabilities, New Glenn aims to compete on various fronts, including higher payload capacities and advanced designs. Although New Glenn is seen as a formidable opponent, its future and that of SpaceX hinges on successful developments in the coming months.
