SpaceX is kicking some serious ass, it is still truly unbelievable everytime a booster lands (or better two boosters land).

Does anyone know how many launches a falcon booster can do until they retire it? Or is it basically keep launching til they find something broken post launch inspection?

I wonder how high it’ll get before being fully phased out by Starship. 25?
