In just one year, SpaceX achieved as many launches as Roscosmos has since 2013.
Astrophotographer, reviewer, and SpaceX enthusiast Ryan Caton has calculated that in 2024, Elon Musk's company will achieve the same number of rocket launches (125) as Roscosmos has completed since November 25, 2013, ULA since May 28, 2010, and Arianespace since May 14, 2009.

Keaton also noted that this year, Falcon rockets have flown more frequently than the Ariane 4 (116), Ariane 5 (117), and Atlas V (101) throughout their entire history.
If SpaceX maintains its pace, by the end of 2024, the number of its launches may match the total number of Space Shuttle flights (135) over the entire duration of its operation.
In response to Keaton's message, Elon Musk noted that next year, Falcon rockets are expected to complete 150 flights.
