The Falcon 9 might be the safest rocket ever. It's at 200+ consecutive successful launches.

Their groundbreakingly (heh) ambitious dev rocket just made a huge stride compared to the previous flight. If they can figure out what happened with the 2nd stage at the end, they can start launching Starlinks on these while trying to figure out recovery and reuse.
