For the Year to June 2026:
SpaceX launches: 76. Successful: 100%
Rest of World (ROW) launches: 49. Successful: 88%.
Elon Musk has done what was unthinkable, even “impossible” a decade ago. A private individual launching rockets… then launching and retrieving rockets… then launching more rockets than the ROW combined. At 100% success.
But… you know, “Elon bad”.
You have something you need to put in space? How do you like your odds if you don’t use SpaceX? Your 12% chance of losing your precious cargo…?
