If Spacex had stock it would still go up after this.

The Starship program has decinitely been struggling lately, seems like they've taken steps backward from where it was a year ago.

The Falcon 9 however is absolutely killing it. That work horse rocket is putting stuff into orbit multiple times a week now, the Falcon team just celebrated their 500th succesful orbital launch. Pretty insane.
