SpaceX sets record for rocket turnaround time with S Korea's 1st military satellite launch

National Aeronautics and ministration's (NASA)  Shuttle reuse record has finally been broken by X Falcon 9 booster after launching a South Korean military satellite and landing on a drone ship. Falcon 9 booster B1058 took off for second time in 51 days on July 20.

X does wonders

Shuttle’s 35-year-old turnaround record was beaten on July 20. B1058 supported Crew Dragon’s inaugural NASA astronaut launch, making it a historic moment in X’s 18-year-long history. This came just before its successful launch of South Korea’s Lockheed Martin-built ANASIS II military communications satellite. Just two months after setting se records, shuttle has broken most significant record in history of reusable rockets.

Shuttle Atlantis and Falcon 9 booster B1058 have both set records. Both boosters set ir turnaround records on ir first and second launches respectively. Shuttle Atlantis went ahe to launch 31 more times after two major overhauls in years 1989 and 1997. It was last Shuttle to launch when it completed STS-135 mission in June 2011. It was more than three years ago that X began experimenting with fairing recovery and started trying to catch fairing halves in February 2018. And it's on July 20 that it has finally achieved its goal.
