Yes, and that was all the experimental program did. No humans on board, no payloads, no orbit, not even suborbital as they stayed close to the ground.
The Falcon 9 puts humans into orbit then turns around and lands not far from the launch tower. It's then brought in for maintenance and a few weeks later launching again - some of them have done 20 flights.
You’re comparing an experimental program that lasted 6 years with a company founded 22 years ago. How many payload flights did space-x do 6 years into its existence?

No, you made that comparison two posts up. I just replied to you ))
Nice, what happened of it?
It happened at about the time budgetary winter happened for the us space budget, so there was no follow-up on the demonstrator.
