Following a mission early on Monday, the first stage of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket entered the record books by becoming the first one to launch and land 27 times. The Falcon 9 launched from Cape Canaveral in Florida at midnight on Monday, April 14, in a mission that successfully deployed 27 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit.

This mission marked SpaceX's 400th overall flight, a significant milestone in the company's relentless launch cadence. It was carried out using a flight-proven Falcon 9 first-stage booster, celebrating its 10th mission.
