Sturgeon Posted February 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 10 minutes ago, Belesarius said: As Meatloaf would say, Don't be sad, cause two outta three ain't bad. More importantly, the two boosters that landed successfully were reflys. Which opens up a bunch of potential marketing/monetization options for SpaceX. Since the re-flown boosters seem to be as reliable if not more reliable, maybe SpaceX could charge a premium for the reflown boosters, or just advertise based on the fact that they can.
