SpaceX closes out record-breaking 2023, prepares for more records in 2024

SpaceX has closed out its most successful and record-breaking year yet. Its Falcon program broke several records for booster and fairing reuse, launch cadence, and tonnage to orbit. Alongside the Falcon program, the Dragon program sent more cargo and more people to orbit and it saw capsules pushing Dragon’s reusability records.

2024 is off to a roaring start with the launch of @Starlink and our first Direct to Cell satellites yesterday and a Swedish GEO satellite today!

I also must congratulate the extraordinary @SpaceX team for a record breaking 2023: shattering global launch records, flying more people from more countries to orbit, completing two very exciting flight tests of Starship and growing Starlink’s impact by more than 1.3 million new customers.
