Serial tech entrepreneur Elon Musk, who runs SpaceX, Tesla and xAl, among other cutting-edge technology companies, published a celebratory X post regarding SpaceX's recent success
Musk bragged about Falcon 9's 300th landing on X in his recent post. Falcon 9 is a reusable racket created by SpaceX to transport people and cargo into Earth orbit and beyond. This is the first reusable rocket on Earth capable of reaching orbit and returning. Thanks to this design, SpaceX can reuse the most expensive parts of the rocket, thereby reducing the cost of flying into space with people and/or cargo.
According to SpaceX's website, the Falcon 9 has performed a total of 343 launches, 300 landings and 274 reflows. A week ago, Musk announced on X that Falcon 9 had performed 14 successful launches in May alone.
The crypto community received this news enthusiastically, especially fans of XRP and Dogecoin. Many accounts began tweeting "420" in the comments in response to Musk's "300" X post. 420 is Elon Musk's favorite number as it is widely associated with his favorite cryptocurrency Dogecoin. April 20 (April 20, 420) is considered the day of both.
Many accounts also responded with memes from the Spartans movie "300" starring Gerald Butler. The episode "This is Sparta" in it went viral and became a famous meme.
Elon Musk's goal with SpaceX is to be able to send a human mission to Mars and establish a self-sustaining colony on the planet to transform humanity into a multi-planetary species. In a recent interview, Musk said that he expects humans to land in March within the next seven or eight years.
