quote [ SpaceX has successfully landed another Falcon 9 rocket after launching the vehicle into space this evening from Cape Canaveral, Florida. Shortly after takeoff, the vehicle touched down at SpaceX’s Landing Complex 1 — a ground-based landing site that the company leases at the Cape. It marks the second time SpaceX has pulled off this type of ground landing, and the fifth time SpaceX has recovered one of its rockets post-launch. ]

Well, since we're not counting the number of people who die frequently due to various life-threatening design or manufacturing faults that some major car manufacturers choose not to correct, or the number of people who die daily as a result of dumbasses just not paying attention while they drive...
