- margalabargala 11mo agoStarship has only flown 11 times. I suspect it's more cost effective than the Falcon 9 was when it had 11 launches, long before any reuse.
- exomonk 11mo agoCounting all those explosions as "flown" is pretty charitable.
- margalabargala 11mo agoIt's a technical rocketry term that encompasses all attempted flights, successful or otherwise. Your confusion stems from trying to use a different definition of the word when reading. Context clues are your friend here :)
