TL;DR Summary

SpaceX achieved a new milestone by successfully launching and landing a Falcon 9 rocket for the 20th time, breaking its own turnaround record with just 2 days, 19 hours, and 42 minutes between launches. The company's ability to rapidly reuse launch pads is crucial in meeting its goal of 144 launches in a year. The Falcon 9 booster that set the record, Booster 1062, has been flying for over 3 years and has completed various missions, including launching satellites and sending humans to orbit. SpaceX is now leading the global launch industry in mission cadence and payload mass sent to orbit, while established companies are lagging behind in implementing similar capabilities.
