>Soyuz is the only rocket that has flown much more than 100 flights Falcon 9 has had 140 flights of which 138 were successful, but that includes 1.0 and 1.1 which were significantly different early designs. It's had 120 flights for F9 FT, all successful (though over 111 flights ago one was destroyed in preflight testing). It's arguably the safest rocket system ever made [0]. That said, Starship should easily surpass it. It has more margin to work with and will run at a much higher cadence with much more opportunity for refinement and testing. ---- 0: https://arstechnica.com/science/2022/02/spacexs-falcon-9-rocket-has-set-a-record-for-most-consecutive-successes/ https://arstechnica.com/science/2022/02/spacexs-falcon-9-roc...
