Not a rocket buff but I thought the soyuz rocket (R-7) was one of the most proven and reliable rockets there are. In 60 years that family has had 1,859 launches[1].
So statistics aside it's interesting just how high those standards are if you bore them out. Going to look stupid with some maths here; If spacex launch every 2 weeks which I thought was the goal, that's like 72 years to prove that reliability record.
72.69 = (1890 * 2) / 52
Number of 1 week periods divided by weeks in a year.
