“So few understand the implications, even when stated as clearly as below [@luismbat] Rocket reusability isn’t just an optimization - it’s a phase transition. When you throw rockets away, you’re limited by factory throughput (~16 rockets/year). Reuse them, and you enter a different regime of launch volume, economics, and ambition.”
