SpaceX has broken its rocket reuse record again, notching a nice round number in the process.

A Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Thursday (Aug. 28) at 4:12 a.m. EDT (0812 GMT), carrying 28 of SpaceX's Starlink internet satellites toward low Earth orbit (LEO).

It was the 30th liftoff for this Falcon 9's first stage, which carries the designation 1067. The booster aced its 30th landing as well, coming down at sea on the SpaceX drone ship named "A Shortfall of Gravitas" about 8.5 minutes after launch on Thursday as planned.
