SpaceX has done some rather amazing. 134 Falcon 9 launches in 2024. That also means they produced/manfactured 134 2nd stages for the F9 rocket. Or one 2nd stage every 2.7 days a rather amazing production feat. Yes they had a few issues but considering how many flights it is still remarkable.

Full re-usability only makes sense with high flight rates. If you only fly a few times over a few years, it kind of isn't worth it. The 2nd stage might be the most expensive part of a F9 to fly right now considering how many times they are flying their 1st stages. I never thought they would fly this often.
