For a yearly total of 10 new cores used and 13 used cores
12 successful landings with 2 failures (one still recovered)
8 landings were ASDS and 4 were to ground pads (2 ocean landings)
Many fairings recovered but zero caught in Mr. Steven's net

First time SpaceX launched a previously flown booster more than once for the first time.
First time SpaceX launched a Falcon Heavy and boosted a Tesla Roadster to 1.66 AU
The Falcon Heavy launch had the second highest Youtube viewership ever.
SpaceX completed and launched their final iteration design of the Block 5.
First time SpaceX had a West Coast landing at LZ-4
First time SpaceX had a simultaneous dual landing at LZ-1 and LZ-2.
SpaceX leased a major docking and manufacturing facility at Los Angeles Port to be used for Falcon Super Heavy/Starship
SpaceX had a spectacular launch that stunned the entire West Coast and many western states with the effects.
SpaceX confirmed their first BFR customer and first space tourist. #DearMoon
SpaceX launched the heaviest commercial satellite ever and still recovered the booster.
