I'm trying to gauge whether "almost impossible" is literal or figurative here, given that (the) Eagle did the same sort of thing on the moon in 1969 without refurbishment between landing and take-off. Also, Blue Origin is relatively close in competition to Space X even though it might not seem like it to many. Almost impossible?
