Of the falcon 9 family (including the heavy), they've have launched 299 rockets with 297 being successful. They have successfully landed 264 of 275 boosters, resulting in 264 less pieces of junk in the ocean, unlike virtually every other rocket company out there. Hate the man if you want, but SpaceX rockets are outstanding and, with future iterations, hopefully Starship will follow suit.
