>Please prove falcon does the exact same thing
>Falcon9 has not done everything the shuttle has, bro.
All of the things you just listed are the same things, its a launch vehicle to the ISS either carrying people, cargo or parts of the station up to LEO it also puts satélites into earths orbit. The falcon 9 is fulfilling that exact same role, the falcon 9 sends people, cargo and satellites to orbit or the ISS, the falcon heavy has been selected with building an ISS in lunar orbit (gateway) and has already launched a heavy payload (a tesla) to space. The falcon platform has also accomplished propulsion landings and rapid Reusability. If we give this platform the same lifespan of the shuttle it should outperform its service record 3 times over.
I don't care if the shuttle was your favorite, it just wasn't that good.
