More rockets to re-use, I'm guessing.

  I don't think their current rockets are reusable. Only once they figure it out they can build more expensive engines that could be reused. I might be wrong though.

    Current rockets are supposed to be reusable, they've designed them that way from the beginning. They've already test-fired the one they brought back, and it looks like they can reuse with minimal refurbishing. http://www.universetoday.com/126837/spacex-test-fires-recovered-falcon-9-booster-major-step-reusable-rockets/ http://www.universetoday.com/126837/spacex-test-fires-recove...

    They are, and I expect if nothing else they want to continue to attempt more landings for study purposes. We won't see actual rapid re-use of rockets for few more years though.
