That's very interesting, what were his reasons ? I can see how the price reduction of reusable stages is much more attractive to commercial launches, whereas military launches are much less price sensitive. Military launches could benefit from the mass launch (dozens to hundreds of payloads in a critical week) capability that a dozen reusable launchers give you.
- hef19898 8y agoWhat he suggested was that technically it made perfect sense if you wanted to launch or landing something from a place without atmosphere. I really have to look it up again think about it. I'll post a link ti the article if manage to dig it up again. EDIT: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/hidden-agenda-between-pentagon-space-x-jean-francois-geneste/ https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/hidden-agenda-between-pentago... There you go. At least the financing part seems reasonable.
