Azért erről nincsen mindenki meggyőződve:

"It is a beautiful technological achievement in the context of a mission in LEO asking little performance from the launcher, freeing the performance required by recovery. But for the economic equation, things are still very uncertain. Performance loss on recovery, lower industrial rate, cost of refurbishment of the first stage, difficulty convincing customers to use a used launcher, uncertainties about the reliability: it would be a mistake to consider reuse is the alpha and omega of disruptive innovation in the field of launchers.
There may be other ways to innovate, such as micro-launcher I had discussed this summer after meetings with players in Silicon Valley who want very cheap launches, less than 10 million, for satellites of several tens of kilograms. Especially, in the European context, with markets and accessible rates lower than those offered to American launchers, the cardinal priority is the road map defined at the last ministerial conference of ESA (European Space Agency): Vega C Ariane in 2018 and 6 in 2020, as part of a new governance which always aim at making cost more competitive."
Még ennyi pénz beleölésével sem látszik egyértelműen, hogy ez valaha is meg fogja érni egyáltalán. Nekem ez beleillik a Musk féle rizikókezelésbe.
