And all those missions with a pretty large rocket. Many people dont realize that the Falcon 9 in its expendable configuration is actually a heavy-lift rocket. The second most frequently launched vehicle is the Long March 2, whose common variants only lift about 1/6th the payload of a reusable Falcon 9.
Edit: and so far this year they’re at 55% of all launches. Utter insanity.
