How did this happen? They said it couldn't be done - the mean tweets and the memes and all.....

  As much as I'm a SpaceX fan this was 3 independent launches of 3 separate rockets over 3 separate days (though they all landed!). While exciting this rate of orbital launching was already done by individual space organizations in the 60s and speaks more about reaching that scale again than proving something can be done. More excitingly the quickest turnaround is just over 21 days, or twice as fast as the quickest space shuttle turnaround. This is still a long ways from the 24 hour turnaround SpaceX is aiming for which often draws heavy doubt (just like the reusability factors used to). As much as I'd like to see a turnaround that quick I don't think that'll come with the Falcon 9 generation, maybe with Starship/Super Heavy if we're lucky though.
