SpaceX's Falcon 9 booster B1067 made history this morning, completing its 35th successful launch and landing — a new record for any orbital rocket booster. The mission, designated Starlink Group 10-35, lifted off from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida and deployed 29 Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit before the first stage returned to the 'A Shortfall of Gravitas' droneship in the Atlantic.
NASASpaceflight confirmed the designation B1067-35 at launch, noting the booster's status as the fleet leader. The landing was clean — NASASpaceflight called it simply "Fleet Leader booster landing" as B1067 touched down, extending its own record with every mission it flies.
SpaceX confirmed the milestone directly: "completing the first 35th launch and landing of a booster." That phrasing matters — no orbital booster in history has flown this many times. B1067 has now surpassed every previous reuse record, and given SpaceX's current launch cadence, it won't be the last time this booster rewrites the record books. The question is how far they'll push it before retirement.
