SpaceX launched its 180th Falcon 9 rocket tonight, and 46th booster of the year, for a cadence of one flight every 6.1 days. This first stage was making its 14th flight, and was a purely commercial mission. The customer received no discount for an "aged" booster. Reuse is real.

SpaceX is flying a second private Starship mission around the Moon, and Dennis and Akiko Tito are its first customers.
The Titos announced Wednesday that they purchased two of a dozen seats on a second SpaceX circumlunar flight around the Moon later this decade. With the public announcement, Akiko Tito becomes the first woman confirmed to fly on Starship. The flight will last about a week, outbound to the Moon, passing within about 40 km of the surface and flying back. Ten other seats on Starship remain unsold and are available.
