SpaceX went from a company that nearly folded after three failures to the most prolific launch provider in history. This page tracks the cadence, the share of everything humanity puts in orbit, and the Starship flight-test log. For the full per-mission story, see SpaceX Missions.

Milestone flights of the fully-reusable super-heavy vehicle. Each links to the full mission entry.
The first integrated launch of the full Starship stack cleared the pad and gathered data before tumbling and being destroyed — the start of a rapid test campaign.
Starship completed its full-duration ascent burn and reached space for the first time, testing payload-door and propellant-transfer objectives before both stages were lost on reentry.
Both the booster and the ship survived to controlled soft splashdowns — the first time the full stack made it through reentry and landing burns intact.
The launch tower’s “chopstick” arms caught the returning Super Heavy booster out of the air — a landing method many called impossible and the key to rapid reuse.
The first launch using a flight-proven Super Heavy booster — the first reuse of the largest rocket stage ever built — though the booster was lost later in flight.
The debut of the larger, more capable Starship V3 (Block 3): the new ship survived reentry to a controlled splashdown while the new booster failed its landing burn.
