Absolutely. Musk has openly shared that at spacex, failure is just a chance to learn. Successful landings don't teach you much, so the launch of an old core like this one (4 previous landings) is a good chance to experiment a bit.

- SquareWheel 7y agoAgreed. They do stress test old cores, but they make it clear that it's an intentional test before they do so. They don't shake up the parameters on a whim just because they've had a good stretch.
- ogre_codes 7y agoA failure is a change to learn, but a success is a chance to save 20 million dollars. Musk is philosophical about failures, but it's not a thing he's chasing.
