You are being very disingenuous. I do not believe you do not know that reusing the Space Shuttle Orbiter after landing required disassembling it, which made launching satellites on the reusable STS cost much more than using expendable rockets of the time as opposed to reusing the Falcon 9 booster which does not require disassembly and is cheaper than using a newly built Falcon 9 booster, which itself is cheaper than the competitor's Atlas V, which uses engines built in Russia and has lowered prices significantly in response to Falcon 9 became certified to fly government payloads. I am mentioning the fact that RD-180 is built in Russia only because the US company got the plans to build them from the Russians but decided that doing that is too expensive while built-in-Russia engines are available, so basically the US did not have the capability to manufacture state-of-the-art engines until SpaceX Raptor, Blue Origin BE-4. If newly built RS-25 happen, I'll count those as state of the art, but so far they're only using old already-flown-on-shuttle engines with extremely expensive computer upgrades.
