This talk was just 6 years ago, before Falcon Heavy, Demo-2, TinTin and Starhopper. It was before we tried to catch a fairing with a net on a boat, let alone launch Falcon nearly 100 times in 1 year.
SpaceX has come a long way in a short amount of time.
SpaceX completed 18 successful missions in 2017, launching flight-proven rockets and spacecrafts for the first time. It was a record-setting year and we were just getting started on our path toward a more exciting future.
