SpaceX really seems to have a winning strategy, and a pretty regular commercial launch schedule. Almost 3 tons of "stuff" into orbit, on a reusable vehicle ain't shabby, either.

Should have another launch on Wednesday (#20). The last one was the 3rd launch of the same booster. 2019 they plan to do a 24-48 turn around on a first stage.
