Interestingly, this launch wasn't within the original capabilities of the falcon 9 and was originally scheduled for a falcon heavy launch. The lengthening of the rocket, using densified propellants, and more changes meant that they could instead use a falcon 9 even though they couldn't recover it. It's a cool reminder of just how much the falcon 9 has changed.

This is good. Space-X just needs to keep those routine launches going, catch up on their backlog, and keep their customer base happy. They were falling behind for a while, and losing customers to Arianespace.

Can someone explain why it's called "Super-Heavy"?
