Reply to comment by marketrent in After flying four astronauts into orbit, SpaceX makes its 101st straight landing — ‘I just feel so lucky that I get to fly on this amazing machine.’ by marketrent

Is this a typo or am I missing something, I see a clear contradiction but perhaps the article is just poorly written? Could this mean that totally they've launched all Falcon versions 207 times; 20 times with Falcon 9 and 207-20=187 with Falcon 1?

Falcon 9 “made its first successful landing back on Earth” with “SpaceX’s 20th launch” of the rocket:
