SpaceX had a record-breaking 31 launches in 2021. By July of this year, it had already passed that number, is scheduled to hit as many as 60 launches by the end of 2022, and doubling that by the end of 2023. Chemistry defines a catalyst as a substance which precipitates or accelerates a condition or event. Industries are transformed by those catalysts. Remember unfolding maps to find your way? GPS was transformational. DVDs, CDs, VHS? Streaming transformed those. And for space, it’s reusable rockets. To the victor belong the spoils and, true to form, SpaceX will continue to transform space exploration as it revolutionizes mankind’s dreams of colonizing it.
