- jacquesm 4y agoAh I see. Ok, but the world has now seen 'reusable rockets with a low cost to orbit', if that advantage gets lost then ultimately someone else will duplicate it and own the market. Customers don't care about politics, they care about costs, and reliability. SpaceX has both of those, right now. Anything recycled or warmed over is not going to satisfy the demand that exists now.
