Perfect launch, landing, fairing recovery, deploy of 60 satellites, just drifting off into the wild blue wonder. No deployment mechanism, just go little birdies, bounce arond it will be ok.
Wild!
71st launched F9, 40th landed core.
764 engine runs (71X(9+1) + 2 X 27) is better than the Space Shuttles 3X135 = 405 for SSME and 2X 135 =270 for SRB's so total of 675. Still a bit short on run time, since 9 engines run for 2.2 min or so. On the Shuttle the 3 SSME's run for 8+ min. But wait till next year and they will have passed it. In 10 years, vs 30 years.
