I know exactly how you feel. I remember the days when they were talking about they thought they could use a booster 10 times before having to replace it. And here they’re starting to use boosters 24 and 25 times.
The launches and recoveries have just become so routine that I personally don’t think about them much until I hear a number like the 450th landing of a booster or the first booster to be used 25 times, etc.
It’s pretty remarkable how unremarkable Falcon 9 booster landings have become compared to just a few years ago.

They’re approaching 30 now! B1067 recently completed its 28th launch and landing.
Oh, that’s incredible. The last time I heard was 25, I think.
