SpaceX just launched (and landed) a Falcon 9 rocket booster for the 35th time, a new record. Watch it fly in this video.

SpaceX successfully completed another mission from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on June 8, 2026, deploying 29 Starlink satellites into orbit. The launch utilized a Falcon 9 first-stage booster that has now achieved a historic milestone by flying for the 35th time. This event marks a new industry record for the reusability of a single orbital-class rocket component. Following the deployment of the payload, the booster returned to Earth for a controlled landing as planned. The mission highlights the company's ongoing efforts to streamline space logistics through hardware longevity.

This achievement demonstrates significant progress in rocket reusability, which is essential for reducing the financial and environmental costs of frequent space launches.
