You need economy of scale for reuse to makes sense. Space launch market still isn’t that big, and even for spacex half of their launches are from their internal project, starlink. Jury is still out if this is actually economical, as we don’t have insights into their financials and they keep on raising money (so we don’t know if some portion of that goes towards flacon subsidies).
- matheusmoreira 4y agoThere is no doubt that a reusable rocket will be more economical. You need cheap rockets first to get economies of scale. It's gonna be big in the future.
